I'm so glad I didn't have time to attempt the underground station I had in mind. Even the imagined version in my head was nowhere near as impressive as Sookie's=O

Wow! Woah, that will teach me to have my gamma up to high at home. Checked it at work today and I can barely see it.

Yeah, it's very dark on my iMac, but looks really good on my iPod?? There's a lot of impressive fine detail in there that gets overlooked when you can't see it=( Nice entry though, well done!

A very high calibre of entries everyone; you don't make it easy do you?;-)

Sorry, I'm quite new here still. How does the voting work? Does everyone vote? Just a select organised few? Or only those who have strong opinions?

Sorry, I can't seem to find a formalised rule anywhere.

Anyone can vote. Just use the provided categories and provide one name whose entry you feel is best at each particular category.

Even me? Can I VOTE?  :P
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

If it's something like "make a background using only one color!" I'm in, too! :=

Okay, it's time to wrap it up! But first - my votes (I'm allowed to vote, right?)

Idea - oraxon - I love your choices of locations
Atmosphere - Mad - it's neon-lit city at night, after all :)
Design - joelphilippage - great colour design here
Composition - SookieSock - the composition here may not be very complicated, but it's precise and easy to read
Functionality - joelphilippage - lots of stuff to look at, it feels like a proper game background even without characters
Technique - oraxon - your rough, yet detailed style suits the selected setting perfectly. And it's perfectly rendered.

And now, I'll count the votes... Oh, God, there's a lot of them... Just a little bit more... Done!

It was a tough one, with only two votes between the winner and the runner-up: in the second place is oraxon, with 24 votes, and the winner is Mad with 26 votes!

Thanks to everyone, who participated - great entries all round; congratulations to the winner, and better luck next time to oraxon, it's always great to see your entries! Take it away, Mad!

Mad

Wow, thanks everyone!

Tough competition with great entries all around.

I'll try to keep the ball rolling and come up with a new one pretty snappy, at the latest tomorrow...
