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.

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.

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.

Flosk and Opo's backgrounds are both nice, each with their advantage. I saw Flosk's is the closest to the theme, Opo's doesn't seem like a boat sunken in the ocean (if I didn't know I'd think that it's a boat in a very dark room). I'd vote for Flosk but his background doesn't really show a deep blue see atmosphere.

Strangely enough, the ProgZ background has more of the atmosphere I expected from the other entries...

I vote for ProgZ
