Background Blitz - Imprisonment - WINNER ANNOUNCED!

[[delete}]

Once again, glorious showcase of art pieces, looking forward to comment and vote!

@OUXX:  Hm, not sure if that little red fellow is handsomely named Mathieu...    But it better is at least Marcus or even Henry, I excitedly waited for years just to see a character (I once was rejected to draw... )

Don't cry, we settled with ProgZMax's sprite, who is (once again) ten times better than all other sprites. Which doesn't mean that the other sprites were bad! Far from it.
His name is indeed Henry... Henry Jones Jr. to be accurate
Also, one is not "handsomely named Mathieu". One is "named Mathieu and handsome" Oh wait, is it too late for the flirt trophy? haha.


For a moment there I thought I had missed the deadline. I really, really REALLY want to finish this background.

I really, really REALLY want to finish this background.

A common dilemma, less flirting more blitzing!!

[Haggis]

OK - I think this is my entry finished - really need to get back to working on my own game!

Bit of background: After being dumped into the ocean, the pod anchors to the bottom. It is then connected to the surface - complete with pneumatic tube delivery system to ensure our prisoner doesn't run out of food and also has somewhere to dispose of their bodily deposits (multifunctional). The tube also provides soft tube lighting. Air vent at the top ensures steady supply of oxygen... could it also offer an escape route? Who knows? It's not great, my level of detail needs work, plus it looks too nice to be a cell... I think I'd happily live there (toilet situation aside).

[Monsieur OUXX]

Nice!
Oh god oh god oh god only 3 days left. Actually two, since I have to work on Sunday. Oh god.

[Monsieur OUXX]

Hey is it possible to have a few more days? Pretty please.

BOOO you had time from feb 26 to make a bg

[Monsieur OUXX]

BOOO you had time from feb 26 to make a bg

I've been trying but I never had time

[Mouth for war]

Yeah I know how it is Real life reminds you that you must do stuff hehe

This month's theme is IMPRISONMENT!!!!
...
...
Just make it a background where the player will be quite rightly wetting themselves with the heebies before being slammed by a whopping great serving of jeebies!

Or...we could go an entirely different route, and draw a place that is actually quite pleasant. It's still a prison, it's just neither heebish nor jeebish. That being said, when you're in there, chances are you're going to be in there for a few thousand years.

Inside the Genie's Lamp:

ps. I thought this was a great concept for an asymmetrical composition. I like how it turned out.
pps. I didn't have time to draw the genie; but you already met her in a recent SpriteJam, so today you get to meet her friends and home.
ppps. Yes, I like cats.

[Monsieur OUXX]

when you're in there, chances are you're going to be in there for a few thousand years.

Interesting idea

[Mouth for war]

I love your artwork Misj'

[GreenBeams]

@Haggis - Nice work there =)
@Misj - Aw, that's lovely! Nice way to think outside the box... or should that be "inside the lamp"?
@Monsieur OUXX - How long would you need, monsieur? I must confess to being a sucker for a good old lasr-death-chair!

[Stupot]

Nice stuff, peeps.

[Monsieur OUXX]

@Monsieur OUXX - How long would you need, monsieur? I must confess to being a sucker for a good old lasr-death-chair!

I don't know. Until the end of the week would be OK? Don't want to frustrate the other contestants though, or anyone who'd think that's an unfair request.

[GreenBeams]

@OUXX - ok, I'm making an executive decision and extending the deadline up to and including Friday 27th March; voting to begin on Saturday 28th.

[ThreeOhFour]

I support this! Looking forward to seeing your entry OUXX.

[Haggis]

Same here, the more entries the merrier!

[Monsieur OUXX]

@OUXX - ok, I'm making an executive decision and extending the deadline up to and including Friday 27th March; voting to begin on Saturday 28th.
