Custard, I'd presume he'll either shrink it or cut it down or maybe both... either way, still cool.  8)

will you use proper resolutions one day? :) 320 200 (240), 640 400 (480) or 800 600 :)

Like I said. I created these projects for an entirely different project a few years ago! They were not meant for games! I have just decided to adapt them for a new game I am making!

yes, but you coulda gone the lazy route, added black borders, with the image in the centre ;)

Ok, I'm starting on a new game and have some backgrounds I did from quite a while back for a different project, they are low-res but hoping I can use them in my new game!

if by different project you mean The Spiderman Cartoon Maker, cause that's what these backgrounds are from

if you made them for for that program than nice going

if not then shame shame we know your name

OHH SNAP!  Seriously that's really lame claiming credit for those screens if you didn't draw them.

This cannot be good, if those aren't your own original works.  :o

I'm sure you'd have trouble making a game using these backgrounds. Using the works of "real" artists without their permission is not only unethical but illegal, since you do not own the rights to someone else's intellectual property.

I'm actually shocked that someone on this forum would shamelessly post another's work without AT LEAST giving credit. (I'm aware you didn't actually SAY you made them, but you did mention Photoshop, so we all assumed...)

Make your own game, draw your own art, and compose your own music (that's the whole point behind an amateur game). Until you do that, you disrespect not only the people who drew those backgrounds, but also the people in this community.

Ok sorry guys been a tad busy. Anyway, thank you for all the comments on my backgrounds[/u]...

Hey man, that's really not nice. You said that YOU made the backgrounds (even 3 times) - I quoted you, so you can't deny it (unless you'd edit your messages, but that would be even lamer than posting someone's else hard work as YOURS!).  :-\     :'(    :-[

Anyway, I'm not familiar with The Spiderman Cartton Maker, but if those backgrounds are really taken from there - I'm sorry to say, but you have to be ashamed of yourself! You got amazing comments from the people in this community, and that's for something you haven't even spend one minute of your time to create? That's a new low, my friend.  >:( >:( >:(

I have to say it again, I'm not really sure that you took those BG's from someone else, so if you actucally made them yourself, then I owe you an apology.

QuoteAnyway, some more pics to drool over hehe.

Well, that happened before...

So this would not be the last time.

Oh, it's happened before, eh? So are you trying to insinuate that this ISN'T one of my drawings?

Since everyone is quoting:

Quotesome backgrounds I did from quite a while back for a different project,

I did some additional art for Spiderman the Cartoon Maker, INCLUDING, those artworks. I have contacted Knowlege Adventures and I am awaiting permission to use MY art in an adventure game!

So guys, PLEASE don't jump to conclusions, not everyone is low enough to steal!

Nice to see what a great community it is here!  :(

EDIT: And I just thought I would point out that not all the backgrounds in the Cartoon Maker were made by me! All the ones I have posted however, WERE done by me - (and a little bit of Photoshop). Plus I have had to use the images from my CD of Spiderman, even though I have the original drawings I made I do not have a scanner! However, I am getting one soon and will be posting some more of my art which was NOT used in Spiderman.

Thats cool. Those pictures are awesome. So it seems you are a professional artist. Thats heaps cool. Although i don't know anything about that spiderman thingy, it seems that they did get good artists. Hopefully the game can be just as good as the art. There are too many games out there with awesome art and not so good story etc.

But sadly some people are. This is obviously a big misunderstanding. Some people jumped the gun a bit here before you had a chance to correct the misunderstanding. On the other hand; it would have been helpful if you had informed people that your work had already been published, and where thus preventing any misunderstandings. In addition you are a first time poster.

But look at it from the positive side. The reason people was pissed off was because they wanted to think you were for real.
Hope this doesn't put you off posting here.
I haven't been here long myself, but people on the forum are generally nice (even the people with attitudes  ;) )
Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

i'm sorry for assuming they weren't yours. I guess i wasn't thinking. But about my first comment, they really are great. I don't have the time or patience to do art like that. :)

I owe you a big apology, pal.

Just forget my last post...  ;)

About the backgrounds, they are totally awesome, and no doubt the best BG's seen in those forums ever. You have a lot of talent, and I hope you can create more backgrounds in that style. It's quite breathtaking.

Again, I'm sorry...

TheBolian

Well I really should have told you that I used that art for the Cartoon Maker!

ratracer

Just to add my opinion and to disagree with fidodido: although your art is truly great, as everyone said, I won't say that it's the best ever seen here...! I'll say it's second to none, but there are some that are on par with yours...

In any case, your game will be a treat artwise!
