Hi, folks!
Here is the new Background Blitz. As the previous one, this one will last ten days (voting will start on the 13th of April). And today's topic is:
The Carnival
[/size]
What I want to see this time is a scene from a carnival. This can be for example a local fair on a hot summer day or a haunted carnival at night. Whatever comes to mind, and as long it shows some kind of carnival, it's okay. The crux of the matter is, that usually carnivals are full of details. Try to make your BG as detailed as possible.
There are no restrictions in size or color.Again, there will be four voting categories:
Best Idea
Best Functionality
Best Design
Best TechniqueGood luck, and have fun!
cheers

So quiet in here. Only 4 days left to make fantastic backgrounds, and we just have one entry. Keep them coming.
BTW: Nice one, Zooty. I love the amount of detail despite the low resolution. Good work.
cheers

Please excuse the totally zany perspective.

I wanted to cram it with more details but unfortunatly lacked the time!
Oh well...
EDIT: just found time to give it another go; maybe I find some more before this Blitz closes!

Okay, since I don't think, there'll come some more entries, I start the
--------------------VOTING TIME until saturday noon--------------------
And I begin with:
best idea: Peder Johnsen ^^ (okay, I spelt it wrong in the first try); I like the idea with the rollercoaster and the giant wheel in the back
best functionality: hard to decide, but I vote for Zooty (but Peder is really close)
best design: this goes to to Peder again (because of the contrast between background and foreground
best technique: I vote for Mad because of his simple, clean style
All of your entries were very good.
Mad: I liked the idea, showing the carnival from above, but it would only work as an overview map or something. But your style is very good. Keep trying in future background blitzes.
Peder: Your background has got much atmosphere, mainly because of the silhouettes in the background. Unfortunately, the small houses (what are they called? stands?) look more like boxes. A bit more detail in them wouldn't hurt.
Zooty: Very colourful and carnival-like, and I like the idea with the grabbing machine in the front.
cheers

And the winner is ...
(http://www.gwebspace.de/hassu-irc/andere/bbtrophy.png)Mad with an amount of 30 votes.
(Sorry for the lame trophy, but sprites are not my strength ^^)
