Idyllic: suitable for or suggestive of an idyll; charmingly simple or rustic.
Create a scene from paradise. Originality is encouraged, but a classic remains a classic.
Deadline: 23 November 2020
Voting:
Concept: Your background should tell us something about the place you have depicted.
Playability: Does it have clearly defined walkable areas, things to interact with, etc?
Artistic Execution: Does the image convey the wanted atmosphere? What's the feeling of the place?
Here is my attempt at an idyllic place. Maybe I went a little over the top with the rainbow :D
Maybe this could be the startin screen for a story that leads to an adventure in a much darker place behind these mountains?

It's beautiful. Those mountains in particular are excellent.
Is it Holland?
Thank you! I was watching a Bob Ross Tutorial recently and some of it stuck.
Holland is a really flat country, so that seems unlikely :D Its just a fantasy place.
I tried drawing a nice little cottage:

I think this is not your usual style, but it works. The shadows are my favourite, they feel right.

Thanks, I'm glad testing new color combos paid off!

Will this go forth though Jack has been banned (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54140.msg636629110#msg636629110)? The uncertainty is unbearable. :-X
We just vote and someone neutral declares a winner in a few days?

I can do the tally in three or for days, if you all want me to.
Let's say: Voting until 10. December?

Yes, please. (nod)
Concept: Racoon
Playability: Blondbraid
Artistic Execution: Racoon
I didn't know Jack was banned, as I don't usually follow political threads. That's sad, he always made some interesting 3D renderings for the contest. I'll miss seeing his backgrounds here.
My votes:
Concept: Racoon. A very nice, relaxing scene.
Playability: Blondbraid. A good camera angle to have the character walk around and plenty of things to interact with.
Artistic Execution: Racoon. I especially like the way you did those mountains.
As the acting competition administrator (a power instilled in me by blur - that's random), I hereby declare this voting process over.
Despite some irregularities in the execution of this election, we have a fairly clear winner:
100 % of voters agreed on giving the Playability category to Blondbraid and 100 % agreed to give the Artistic Execution to Racoon. Only in the Concept category, voters were not in total agreement. That's a surprisingly uniformous vote.
And with that we have the final results of 7 points for Racoon and 5 points for Blondbraid.
Racoon is our winner with their lovely scene of sunflowers, mountains and a mill.
Congratulations!
It's your job to start the next round.
Thanks everyone!
