I've never really drawn backgrounds before, but I'm trying to improve my drawing abilities and get used to making digital art so here is my entry.

It's not much but I wanted to give it a go. Any advice or suggestions for improvement are welcome as I am really not very good with my lighting or perspective.

Great to see two pieces this early, good work!
I hope people won't be too busy when the Workshop is running at the same time.

Au contraire. I'm too busy for the workshop but am eager to enter something in this Blitz.

Well ... I wanted to enter for this blitz, but the workshop is a lot harder than I expected. But at least I can still enjoy all the entries here :)

Sorry for the delay. Busy busy and it totally slipped my mind last week.

We have two good pieces and as the workshop is going on at the same time I don't suspect there would be any more participants. So let's just vote, I'll close the voting next Monday (I will be away whole week)

Vote on these categories
Concept: Who had the best idea within the topic.
Artistic Execution: Who executed the piece best using the artistic tools such as color, value, composition and design.
Playability: Who made the most practical scene to be used in the game editor and engine. Scaling, clear hotspots.

Code (ags) Select
[b]Concept:[/b]
[b]Artistic Execution:[/b]
[b]Playability:[/b]

Seems like the workshop totally shadowed this topic. :(

Concept: I'll go with Myinah, but I like both.
Artistic Execution: Grog, love the palette and feel of the scene.
Playability: Myinah.

And sorry I didn't enter, but if nothing else, I did "made" the Background in my mind and will be part of my BSG game (one day... eventually...). (nod)

Yea, unfortunately that they started and ended more or less the exact same time. I think we can wrap it up and hope for more participants next round.
Only got one voter, so I'll go with that and declare Myinah winner.

Good work guys, hope to see you next BG blitz round.
Myinah, take it away. :)
