THEME: The league of superheroes â€" past their prime.

DESCRIPTION:
Create a background to show the secret hideout of superheroes past their prime. The background shouldn't show the heroes themselves but the outdated testing equipment, transportation, or something along those lines.

RESOLUTION: Any

COLORS: Unlimited

Here are a couple pictures to get you thinking.


These were taken from the Sonic Heroes Commercial

Okay I hope everyone is working hard on a background for this. It has been two days and not even one response to it.

[WanderLady]

It's definitely the first topic in awhile that has piqued interest.
If inspiration hits, I'll do one...maybe...if inspiration hits, that is.

[..]

It could work as a background i suppose, but i wanted to contribute something.

[jrl2222]

finally!!

[..]

oh yeh and ignore the green triangle thing, that wasn't supposed to show up as an outline.

[Seleceus]

My very first post (after a couple of years of reading), so here goes nothing...

[jrl2222]

Wow you have been a member for a year now and this is your first post....I am glad I could inspire you to come out of lurking mode.

[Seleceus]

Lurking?  Possibly.  Sitting, reading, learning.  Definately.

And yes, this particular competition caught my attention.  Your challange sat in the back of my head, and fermented into the piece I've posted.  I'm a little suprised there's not more of a response, half-way through the alotted time.  This forum just has to be jam-packed with vintage comic readers.

[jrl2222]

I think alot of people are worried more about the ATC then this. Oh well the odds are good for both entries so far. 50/50 you can't beat that.

[jrl2222]

Only 5 more days if you count today.

[Czar]

Okay, chill out jrl.

[Ozwalled]

[Neutron]

i vote for seleceus. 

[Nacho]

Seleceus. He has made no photoshop (No offence Scuthbert, but I think he has put more effort...)

Ozwalled's is cool, too... But Selectus is new... A way to say "welcome"!

[Ozwalled]

Seleceus.

EDIT: and I didn't much like mine. I totally figured everyone would think it was crap.

[Iwan]

Seleceus too! But I liked your too, Ozwalled.

[Indie Boy]

Seleceus

[Paper Carnival]

I'm not sure what Scuthbert did there, is it a copy/paste work? Did he paint over a picture?

I don't like Seleceus entry (no offense)  mostly because of the carpet, it's gridy

So, I vote for Ozwalled

[HillBilly]

I think Ozwalled's entry is funny, but I think Seleceus' entry is much more detailed and tidy. 

I vote Seleceus. Welcome to the boards, by the way.

[sedriss]

i also vote for Seleceus.

[Seleceus]

Well, I'm truly overwhelmed.  Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.

Personally I vote for Scuthbert.  I about fell out of my chair when I noticed the 'Stair master', after about the 10th time of looking at it.

I don't like Seleceus entry (no offense) mostly because of the carpet, it's gridy

I see your point, but wasn't going for carpet.  I was trying to get a brushed concrete feel, but couldn't find a texture combo that worked well, obviously.

Ozwalled:  I love the water effects, and the BenGay, but what is the story behind the nail-in-the-board?  My wife and I spent 20 minutes coming up with goofy scenerios that it would fit in.

[Ozwalled]

Well, the nail in the board wasn't supposed to be anything more than a primitive weapon... Sure, it was great in its time against the evil Dr. Perforatable, but now, it's just not so impressive against modern supervillains.

[jrl2222]

Looks like Seleceus wins. Congratulations!!! For winning you get the honor of starting the next BG Blitz.

[Seleceus]

Thank you.   A new post will be up shortly.
