Time for another Backround Blitz! :D

Theme: Graveyard

This theme is open to interpretation; while you are welcome to do a spooky cemetary, I would also love to see some entries like old car junkyards or similar sorts of ideas!

Restrictions: Background must be drawn at a resolution supported by AGS, however if your background is clearly scrollable this will be allowed. No other restrictions.


Voting starts 11th Feb 2009, unless more time is requested.
The voting will be done in these categories:

Idea - The underlying idea to the background. Doesn't
necessarily have to coincide perfectly with the theme of the
week, just strike you as interesting/amusing/inspiring; a place
you'd really enjoy visiting within a game.

Atmosphere - How well the image manages to evoke a certain feeling or mood.

Design - How well the elements in the image are designed,
such as landscapes, buildings, decorations, clouds, doorknobs,
etc.

Composition - How well the elements in the image work
together/are positioned in relation to each other.

Functionality - How well it would work when adding sprites,
including appropriate walking distances, a good angle for
character sprites, clever walkway solutions, easily understood
exits, etc.

Technique - How well the ideas are executed in form of
rendering.

Have fun, and I look forward to your entries!

Okay, I guess I'm the first entry... I decided to give a peaceful and serene feel to the sacred grounds of the cemetery: 


The epitaphs read: "RIP Mrs Person" and "RIP Mr Person" (original huh?)
"Hail to the king, baby!"

well, this is a Monsters cementery



Image was drawn at 1574x768 for a game at 800x600 or 1024x748 resolution, but i set width=820 height=400 in the link to be contained here.

EDIT: Thanks and sorry, i removed non-static elements. I can't think on remove other elments because this picture was drawn specificaly for this background blitz.

Matti

Wow, not bad. I wanna see that game with those graphics.

Andail

Jerakin, that's great, awesome details.
Since this is a background competition, I would recommend that you remove the sprites and characters and other non-static elements.

In the distant future even AIs choose religion. So space graveyards have AI areas. Some lucky spaceships ended in "Silent gray road" cemetary  ;D




PS. I know it sucks, my drawing skills are nonexistent, but had fun making it.

It reminds me of that twilight zone episode where the guy tries to read all the time and the nuclear bomb goes off.

Honestly, I consider extending the dates of this challenges totally unfair... some people fought against the time restrictions, struggled to make a painting that could have been better with more time.

Also, there might be people who consider's  this weeks topic unappealing and might be waiting to the next topic to participate. The deadline was the 11th. Buckethead won't show his entry till, the earliest, the 16th. Some hours might be okay.  5 days is not, IMO. We had enough time for making another challenge, almost.

Move on... and let' s vote.
Are you guys ready? Let' s roll!

Ok if anyone is bothered by this, I'm ok with voting starting now.  :)
