Title: Backgroundblitz 2008.12.19 - 2009.01.04 [ENDED]
Post by: Daniel Thomas on Fri 19/12/2008 04:17:05
Theme: Opposites

Try to get two opposites in to the background. This is practically done by itself when making a piece of art, but try to be creative about it! :)
It can be opposing objects like statues of god and devil, it can be a some attribute of the background like opposing colors, it can basicly be anything.

I realise its a busy time for many people, I hope there will be entries anyway - and for extension of time you can priv-message me.


---------------------------------------------------------

Voting starts 4th Jan 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.


Good luck!

I really would have liked to spend alot more time on this background but time isn't on my side. Anyway, this background is - a mix of organic (living) and inorganic (dead). Make of it what you will, I wanted to have a third room at the bottom of the background but I have to go to the airport now so I will leave this as a WIP :-\.
