BG-Blitz 6th-30th September "The Morgue"

Andrew · Mon 06/09/2004 11:11:25

Listen up folks. Time to blitz again. Since I won the last one with my l-toons inspired BG I choose the next topic.

The Morgue:

Imagine a rainy night in a not too small town. In the outskirts, a hospital embraced in darkness. It's very creepy. A morgue is located deep within this hospital. A morgue where Dr. Frankenstein could snatch parts for his experiments. Or where Mr Lector would feel like a kid in a candy store. A room filled with bodies. Lots of bodies or parts! The only rule is: NO "LIVING" PEOPLE.

The BG must have a place/ or places for a character to walk. No living characters allowed. This is a BG Blitz not a cutscene blitz. The resolutions are 320*200 or 640*400. The coulors are free of choice.

Godspeed to you all.
Your senior physician/ Andrew

are we suposed to create a background, using this information?

DinghyDog · Mon 06/09/2004 16:45:14

yes.

Andail · Mon 06/09/2004 17:10:17

No, he just wanted to describe what a morgue can look like

Moox · Mon 06/09/2004 18:12:04

Mouse read the fricking instructions that are stickied in this forum. I wrote them, the least you could do is read them

pslocum · Fri 10/09/2004 17:55:18

Nice topic. I would participate if I had any semblance of artistic ability.

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 10/09/2004 17:59:00

Also, shouldn't this go to 20th?
2 weeks = 14 days, 6+14 = 20, not 30?

Ozwalled · Sat 11/09/2004 10:38:32

Ugh. I appologize in advance for this. I'm not sure what I was thinking... $:-\$

EDIT: Hm. Here's a different version of the floor, in case the first one makes you nausious.

Ginny · Sat 11/09/2004 12:54:39

Oooh, dawn of the levitating morgue beds!

This is a great theme

YOke · Sun 12/09/2004 21:56:39

I believe this is my first entry in the Blitz.
Not many corpses, but if you look carefully there's a hand-in-a-jar somewhere in the picture. There is also a fair amount of blood.
320x200x32bit

EDIT: Updated with a slightly brighter version.

Lol improve your reading skills.

Cluey · Mon 13/09/2004 20:26:13

There we go.

Sam. · Mon 13/09/2004 21:22:10

argh! lighting effects! i thought we had you cured cluey! alas!

Cluey · Tue 14/09/2004 18:21:44

NEVER, Real Draws annoyingly over used 3D lights will take over!!
Seriouly, I can do without, but the drawing didn't look atmospheric.

Kweepa · Wed 15/09/2004 04:45:44

Awesome, Yoke!
(The other two are great too.)

Scummbuddy · Mon 20/09/2004 21:00:43

I hope this is still going till the 30th, so I can finish mine to enter.

Keep working guys. My intension was to give three weeks. Some of you may think it's too long. But I don't. Nine more days to go.

Neutron · Tue 21/09/2004 22:08:09

when i tried to put up a .bmp in the MS Paint game thread it didn't work and I got a message saying not to use .bmp format. I noticed these are .bmps, so i take it, it's a thread specific thing?

Privateer Puddin' · Tue 21/09/2004 22:12:47

none of these are .bmps, the entries so far have been .png and .jpg

Neutron · Tue 21/09/2004 22:19:57

ah, ok. for some reason my comp was recognizing them as .bmp's. I'll go with .png then. thanks.

Neutron · Wed 22/09/2004 05:03:50

well,....this is exactly in between the two suggested resolutions.Ã,Â if it disqualifies me, please say something and I'll change the resolution.

Neutron, I have no problem with the resolution what so ever. But since the rules are carved in stone some may find it very unsuitable not asking you to change it. Please, for your own good, change it.

Neutron · Wed 22/09/2004 07:52:53

Ok I'll do a full size jpeg render. I just wanted to keep the image mostly intact without having a ridiculous file size. Thanks for replying.

Neutron · Wed 22/09/2004 08:17:40

Here's the full size jpg render. It actually came out really well,....I didn't notice any significant artifacts at all.

shbaz · Thu 23/09/2004 01:31:57

If you set the quality to 100, there will be few or no artifacts. If you use a PNG there will be no artifacts no matter what the compression though.

Good render, Modron.

Neutron · Thu 23/09/2004 01:47:20

thanks shbaz, will you be submitting an entry? it would be cool to compete against you in two forums at once. 8)

Ravenous · Fri 01/10/2004 11:13:57

Let's cast our votes....

and my VOTE goes to:

YOke

Pure "point and click"-art... and I like that you use the low resolution..

Andrew · Fri 01/10/2004 11:21:23

Why didn't more people enter the contest? The theme was awesome. Too bad. Lack of time I guess...

Anyways, my vote goes to YOke. NICE one.

Neutron · Fri 01/10/2004 13:20:50

my vote also goes to YOke.

YOke · Fri 01/10/2004 16:08:26

Thanks for all positive comments so far!

My vote goes to Neutron. Nicely rendered.

Chicky · Fri 01/10/2004 16:16:49

I vote yoke too, clueless' was very good but i think it needs a bit more cleaning up.

Darth Mandarb · Fri 01/10/2004 16:36:43

I've always dug his style of BGs.

Great stuff man!
