Here are some backgrounds I did 2 years ago with photoshop. Two are tests for a game I never got around to making, and the other is a remake of Zak McKraken 's boss's office. This one got me into the Zak McKraken 2 team. I left though for private reasons. :-X

Any way, to the art, sensational :O
why thankyou.
ill post in the same message next time then.
HOLY SHITBALLS! :o :o
I like them alot
I think in the last one tho the character doesnt fit the soft background
other than I love the hell out of them
This looks really great! My favorite ones are first and third :)
I think they are awesome! Make a game... now... with that kind of graphics... or I'll eat you ;)
Great job :)
Yeah! This is some incredible stuff. I can't think of any critique. Just show us more. :D
This looks terrific!
I like the first one in particular. Would you mind doing a tutorial? :)
I hate you. you're to good
EDIT: fine. I can take a hint. I'm jealous! there! I said it. and I don't hate you.
btw. how did you manage to create those smooth outlines? I can't even see the pixels!
and andail: what's wrong with the smudgetool?
Really good work indeed. Amazing details. I'd let go off the smudge tool if I were you, and do more of a cartoonesque style like in that office-room scene.
Lots of people have a go at that kind of DOTT style, but few people manage...you've made it, though
Oh, and I ask people to remember the forum rules...only write elaborated criticism
Thanx alot guys for your feedback. I really appreciate your input.
Also to Andail, thankyou too. I realise that a couple of the screenies's background art are quite "smudgie" however they are infact incomplete as I never got round to adding the 4th pass of detail. For example the blueish floor in the room with the two aliens. I might get round to adding cracked rocky tiles like in the arizona desert. ::)
Anyhow I'll post more screenshots in following weeks.
Cheers fellas!
IMO for your style, I'd prefer the smudginess instead of clear colours ...
Your art - especially number 1 and 3 style - has some je ne sais quoi that makes me really, really, really want to play your game - so please make a great game to go with your art!
