BG Blitz : July 13th - August 3rd*

Setsuna · Tue 12/07/2005 22:35:43

I really like enchanted forests and cartoony backgrounds but i prefer haunted mansions, foggy graveyards etc... so i came up with this idea:

Subject : Creepy Night
Size : 320x200
Colours : Hand drawn bg, pixel artists and photoshop-ers are welcome so no colours limit.

I hope you'll get inspired by the subject, please let me know if you'd like to change it.

Good luck

Nice, this time I'm 99% in.

Not really a background you could walk in, but it would work as a start-up-screen or a screen for a cutscene.

2x

Happy backgrounding!

cheers

This topic got me thinking, and I figured, Hey why don't I make a bg of a creepy Egyptian tomb, so I can use it in my game. Now I just need to figure out something to use it for!

Quick?Ã,Â What would a 'long' one look like then?Ã,Â Seriously, that's a very nice background, reminds me of the swamp from KQ2VGA.

Jade: You don't have to upload two versions of your background. You can display it resized using the height and width attributes:

Code: ags

Excellent pic!

This is my contribution... It didn't take me 15min more like an hour!

nihilyst · Thu 21/07/2005 23:24:22

Floskfinger, your background is marvelous. The blue light, the fog, the sky, the dead trees. It reminds me of The Colonel's Bequest. Spooky!

How did you do this in an hour?

I know this isn't the critics lounge, but there is something about the mushrooms that I just don't care for. Don't get me wrong, you have yourself a spectacular image here, but maybe I just want them to be in silhouette form, or maybe rounder, but all in all, you have yourself a fantastic background and you should be proud.

Floskfinger · Thu 21/07/2005 23:51:03

Thanx alot nihilyst!
I've never played The Colonel's Bequest (maybe I should).
And the answer to your question is: I just did

Well, I'm completley pleased with them either! They'd look better if it wasn't a night picture i think. But I was to tired to make them look better!

the mist reminds me sort of the "Conquest of Longbow". Even the place...it seems fitting for where the Maid Marian would dance. AND you've got a "Conquest of Longbow" avator
