QuoteWhy such a long voting time? Who's gonna wait for four days before he/she votes?

Long? Must be global time difference? 2 days, not four. By GMT +0200 I announced voting at 2nd October (somewhere 5 AM), and this ends in last hours before 5-th. Around 48 hours isn't too long, IMO.

I thought that the 5th was included. So the last hours of the 5th were the final hours of the vote. Anyways, if the vote started 5AM on the 2nd, shouldn't it end at 5AM on the 4th, amounting to 48 hours. If it's until the final hours of the 4th, then it would amount to 67 hours at midnight GMT+2. Never mind, I'm nitpicking here.

A style experiment. The palette was inspired by "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", a movie with nice visuals, though not much else.

That's right. I saw it last week and it looked really offbeat, but the plot bored me as hell. If it's still possible, I'll vote Loominous -- I like the details and atmosphere.

My quick & ugly entry... I know it's very doodle-ish:

Kweepa · Mon 03/10/2005 00:16:38

I vote Krysis.
I love loominous' piece, but the focus hardly seems to be on the fortress, and anyway, he used the opportunity to insult Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow which I rather enjoyed.

I will have to go for loominous!

Although actually not very usefull as a BG I think it's great art...

Floskfinger · Mon 03/10/2005 08:14:46

His picture has so much feeling, and the use of contrasts is superb!

I just clicked on this topic 'cause I was really, really bored but holy hell, I'm voting for Loominous. Can I vote for rharpe too? I guess not but man, not doodlish at -all-. It's a gorgeous style and a fantastic design.

My vote goes to Krysis!

Loo's pic was incredible but is prolly too good to use as a bg. (may i ask you rharphe, what painting program are you using? i love the style)

Flash MX/PSP7... I exported the image as a BMP then did a little touch-up in PaintShop Pro 7. These programs work GREAT together!

rharpe, if you were doing a whole game in that style, I'd be waiting on the edge of my seat for you to release it.

Wow! I didn't think it was THAT good. I didn't even know I had a style??? $:-\$ Thanks for the kind words, that is really nice.
