Hey, guys,
the end of the year draws near. So this fortnight's BBlitz topic is
THE END OF THE ...
Make a background that shows some kind of end. Some ideas: the end of the year, the track, the road, a life, the world, the show, the game etc. etc.
---
I hope for as many great entries as last time. So grab your mouse, your pencil or your pad and have fun :D
Restrictions: Any format compatible with AGS is fine.
Voting starts on January 4th.
cheers

To be honest, during Christmas time I wouldn't have worked on a background neither ;D
I extend the deadline to January 11th. 2012 has begun. Get back to work, fellows ;D
Here's my entry:

This is... The end of the life... The light at the end...
...
Or maybe just the end of the tunnel... Well... I guess that would be the end of the life, too.... :-\
If you need the image to be bigger, I'll see what i can do...
it still needs a little bit of work - but honestly - i don't think i'll have time to tweak it anymore before the deadline ... however, I think it's good enough to be entered.

[edit] Made a quick mockup out of boredom, added a random character and a car:

I extend the deadline to January 11th.
Hopefully that means midnight (GMT) on Jan 11th=D
This needs a lot more love but the deadline has stolen my time so here you go:
The end of the.. trail

I had planned to mock up a HUD at the bottom and some characters but I ran out of time. You would play a wolf and in this room you find a hunter's footprints in the snow, leading to where he is hiding in the tree.
It's very rough around the edges, I know, but as my first attempt painting in greyscale then colorizing the image, i'm very pleased with the result. I'll continue working on it this weekend hopefully=D
Trophies? Maybe next time ;D
But four entries are more than none, so it's time to vote. The voting categories are:

Atmosphere -
Design -

If you want, you can comment on your favorite backgrounds.
Voting will end on sunday.
Idea - DrewCCU - I like this end of the road idea, wouldn't seem out of place in a Road Runner cartoon
Atmosphere - gameboy - (top picture) - beautifully bleak landscape, lovely sky
Design - DrewCCU - great layout and colours
Composition - straydogstrut - spooky and effective!
Functionality - gameboy - I can easily see this background working in an adventure game
Technique - gameboy - while I liked the others, they didn't look quite finished (as the artists admitted themselves) - gameboy's looked like the finished article (well, before he added that person and car... ;D)
