Angles!
Adventure games have often viewed a scene from the side
'classic' view

With 3d characters you can use more interesting angles
3d view
(http://www.scummbar.com/images/dep/screenshots_emi_pc/full15.jpg)
Draw a new bg or remake a bg which uses an interesting perspective
Restrictions
No major restrictions on resolution (something sensible, like 320x200, 640 x 400 and 800x600 - not something silly :P), colour and certainly not the god damn stupid 'must be useable as a bg not a cutscene!!1'
Good luck!
doesn't the perspective change in 3d? isn't it always different?
<EDIT>
ok, got that ::)
It was an example of how a game uses 3d to achieve a more interesting view.
well, i was going for a black&white security camera angle, it didn't turn well, but i think that this angle is a brilliant idea:

ignore the random (not too long)lines, i was using GIMP and it can't undo too far:(
The subject is that bad? :p
Its bg blitz, there never big.

It's a car driving along a cliff road, photographed by a man committing suicide by jumping from a bridge 200m up.
I had a few extra minutes to spare so I thought why not. Would've been better if I had my computer back and didn't have to use my mums/dads/sisters machineÃ, :-\

Got bored, was a fast job, looks like crap but its an entry.
Cool entrys so far, love your idea Haddas :).
Heres my entry-

It's a pic of my CD player on top of my Chest of draws. The perspective is a upwards view from the floor- like you were a small animal looking up.
Hope you like it :).
No point extending it (because of the forum downtimes) as we have a few entries.
Let the voting commence. Perhaps.
My vote goes to Haddas.
My vote goes to alpha.
I vote also for alpha. Nice job!
Alpha
While Alphas has the best artwork (apart from the carpet, which looks like the texture filter :P ) I don't think the angle is majorly different from the norm that is the side on one. Infact, perhaps my example was a bad one, but none, apart from Haddas try anything too dramatic, oh well :P
there was a GDT on this a while back which showed how Hollywood did it much better than we have so far.
My vote to Haddas! Great angle, funny idea! Alpha has neat artwork though, but I still dig the viewpoint in Haddas' picture.
Alpha wins by an outstanding 1 vote!
Alpha 3
Haddas 2

Thanks :), I'll start a new BG Blits as soon as I get an idea.
