I think it' s a pun... Nowadays libraries are quiet as cementeries...

haha that's cool but i wasn't thinking that, i just wanted to make some postapocalyptic graveyard city and i was googling some random images when i found a library that kinda looked like this so i thought i could use it. i was going to make some skeletons on the front steps to make it more of a graveyard but couldn't find the time cause of my exams.

my votes:

Ok, folks, it has come time to tally up your votes and announce who got the most. But first, let's have a quick look at all of your entries:

Rharpe: I like the nice, friendly colours you have used here, and the inclusion of trees in the foreground is a nice touch. The cracks and vines on the headstones add a nice sense of both detail and age to the image - great work!

Jerakeen: The colours you have chosen here really evoke a feeling of a desert with lots of canyons, and really match the landscape, which I really like. The details are fantastic, with lots of different monsters to look at and the style of background would really suit an adventure game. Excellent entry!

Stajp: I really like the idea you've presented here, with AI constructs having a religion - I find this very interesting. The floating headstones are a very nice touch and add a science fiction feel to the background which works in it's favour. Good job!

Bog: This is a really nice mix of clean, well defined shapes, lots of detail elements and a very pleasing colour palette. The evidence of wear and tear on the building give a strong sense of decay to the image, and adding tall buildings in the background really add to the atmosphere of being in a city. Well done!

With that out of the way, the votes have been counted, and the winner is Bog with his post apocalyptic library scene.

Congratulations to Bog, for his great entry, and well done to everyone else who submitted a scene. Some really great work here, guys!
