I love acronyms, as you can tell.
Here's some backgrounds and some shots of another character from "Scythe Island," a (hopefully) funny pirate adventure game that I'm making.

This is an animated BG, the little boat in the back is rocking gently.

This one's of my favorites... it's more of a transition screen than a bg, really. I don't wanna just make a Monkey-Island style background, but something original. You can see what I'm trying to do: jaggedy shadows, cartoony style. Kinda DOTT or Sam N Max, maybe... (Two games i haven't played :P )
This is the main character:

Long, thin limbs, but not gangly. I just realized that I forgot to draw his beard in his side view. Damn. I have to get back to work.
Anyways, I'd love to hear what you guys think. Everything was drawn in Photoshop. I wish I had a drawing tablet...

thanks!
Looking good, but the backgrounds are a bit dark for me to see (maybe it's because of the monitor).

I see that the images became a bit blurry dur to the resizing and JPG compressions.
Actually you don't need to resize the images yourself, the [ img ] tag of these forums has a height and width parameter that'll resize the displayed images automatically, and keep them sharp, for example, if you have an image of 320*200 and you want to display it in 2X size, just put:
[ img width=640 height=400 ]

(just remove the first and the last spaces from the tags for them to work.
I really like the character... but his little beard sort of bugs me for some reason... I don't know why. Maybe make it just a line and not an upside down "T"? I dunno...
