Nice topic. I may just enter.

Glad you liked the topic, but please keep the thread free of "I may enter" posts, since they serve no purpose what so ever.

Ming the Merciless says EGA rocks, and so:

The aliens thought they had everything figured out.


What a loser.

I love underwater scenes using EGA. One question will our background be worth less if we did use EGA?

Isn't it more about style? A good small EGA bg still beats a bad large hi-q bg.

Up to the voters I suppose. Since underwater enviroments tend to be very monochromatic (if you look at the reference pics everything is pretty much blue) EGA palettes shouldn't be that crippling.

Here's my try at it:

This was really difficult for me (not used draw underwater scenes).
I know it was supposed to be a sunken ship and not a little crappy boat. Hope it's ok anyway.

BTW, I really love the EGA picture! Next competition should be a EGA competition. :=

Great lighting. Great shading. Beautiful image. Beautious detail, and I love those air bubbles.

In short - yowza! What a beauty!

This is kind of a continuation of a background I did a while back of a guy floating in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean.

Done in MSPaint 320 x 200:



Apparently he met his match with the ocean.


Mr Flibble

Opo!
Welcome back mate!

I remember that rowboat picture. It rocked my world. :=
Ah! There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling!

Damn, you got skillz

I agree that this will be tough to choose.
When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an only child... eventually.

I rememebr that old boat one too, Opo. I'm pretty sure it's on my harddrive somewhere still.

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires

Yowza. Beautious, too, but super dark. It took one full minute to realize that yes, the picture HAD loaded, I just had to increase my peecy brightness a LOT.

Voting's open and will end in 24 hours so we can get the next one going.

I'd vote, but as host I want to remain neutral.

I'd like to vote for progzmax and Floskfinger, but I'm afraid I have the urge to vote for Opo Terser. It's a tough call.
