Thanks, Vukul! You've got us hooked. Maybe in some other Blitz we'll see if Jane survives...

Almost at the deadline, everyone. Just post a note if you need more time.

Amazing-terrific entries. Thanks to everyone, it was great to see the big turnout.
It's voting time!

Idea: Is it an original/creative interpretation of the theme?
Atmosphere:  Is an interesting world created? - Does the scene evoke a feeling?
Design:  How well are the individual elements designed, from clouds to doorknobs?
Composition:  How well do the elements combine to create a pleasing whole, and lead the viewer to the points of interest?
Functionality:  How well would it work as a background? Does it have clearly defined entries and walkable areas, as well as a good viewing angle? This also includes introductory shots of an area as long as a player character can be present in the scene.
Technique: How well is it rendered, within the chosen style? (in no way meaning the more elaborate, the better!)

Voting ends midnight June 2nd so vote today!

Vukul - Am I right in thinking that the idea behind your entry is that the "spotlight" would follow the mouse cursor, and things would look normal when lit by the spotlight, and all creepy and crawly otherwise?

[Vukul]

Creed, yes, essentially you're right. But for the sake of the background drawing competition I've put the light around a, so to say, 'natural' lightsource (the lamp in this case).

Cool, my first time winning at ags competitions.
