Some backgrounds to show!

[TheBolian]

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!

[Schattenjager]

Sweet background! This is really intense stuff

What medium do you work in? Looks like Acrylic or maybe Guache.

Shit dude, thats a comercial game right there. Amazing work my friend...

[Domino]

Wow, those are very good. They look good enough to eat.  

BuffaloGamer heads back to the drawing board.

[earlwood]

Wow, these BGs are better then sex!   actualy..I'm not sure...But these are great anyways!  

[Gilbert]

YAY really nice bgs! But are they really "low" res?

[Scummbuddy]

Wow wow wow. You MUST keep going.

And, especially on the last two, they really remind me of my "How to draw Looney Tunes, and their backgrounds" book I have.

Masterpieces in the making.  

[Rincewind]

...What can I say? Amazing. God damn amazing.
Promise you'll give us more of this stuff, man - And um... Perhaps a tutorial?

That second picture reminded me about Beneath A Steel Sky, btw - Cool!

[12431 at school]

[FruitTree unplugged]

excellent!
very VERY impressive!
you pick great camera angles!
choose lovely colors!
everything about it is just great!
I'll leave it to the real experts to make some comment about it

[ratracer]

Not only are they great as everyone said, but if all of them are for the same game, it promises to be an amazing game, compelling story included ...

Make a great and long game!!!!

Edit: I'm still stunned - when is your game coming out, how's gonna be, what's it called? tell us more!

[Ginny]

 :o Wow wow wow! That is stunning! And I've only seen the first pic!
...
They are all stunning! I can feel that this game will be great. I second ratracer's motion for more info on the game Where's the drool icon when I need it?

The only thing I can nitpick about is what that beige thing in the second pic is. Err, what is it?

Defiently write a tutorial! If you did these completely 3d looking backgrounds just drawing (which you did), I.. I.. wow.

[Pessi]

!!! :o

Those are amazing, man! I like the third and the last one best.

I don't know if there's much to criticize but there are some things that bother or just catch my attention a bit. One thing is the lack of detail at some places, like on the roof and the chairs on the right, in the second picture. It's good to have empty space in a crowded image like that but I don't know if it's just because of the little amoutn of colors but the texture on the roof is like it was a whole different style. Somehow it makes the image look a tad computer-generated and takes something out of the atmosphere. It can be seen in various degrees in all of the images. Perhaps you could make the game 16-bit or something? Unless the game speed would become an issue...

A bit of the computer-messed-it-up kind of thing can also be seen in the fifth image. It looks as if it lacked detail but I think it's actually just because it got blurred during the scanning or resizing.

So, basically what I'm saying is: you rock, the computer does not. Keep it up, man! That totally is commercial quality!

Very nice backgrounds! They are better than the backgrounds in a lot of commercial adventure games!

[iron_man]

very nice backgrounds. I like the 'embedded' comic book style.
I liked the proportions and the colors especially.
It seems like you did ALL the job on paper (sketch plus colorising) and you just scanned them.Am i right?

[Matt Frith]

Excellent Backgrounds, best work ive seen in a while.  They all have a great atmosphere, especially the street with the car.

Good work

[TheBolian]

Ok sorry guys been a tad busy. Anyway, thank you for all the comments on my backgrounds. I didn't actually produce them FOR an adventure game but I thought since there is this fab program to make them, then why not!

Anyway, some more pics to drool over hehe.

Not all of the pictures are handrawn, I used Photoshop to touch up some of the images and add some effects.






Game is still in it's planning stages, I will keep you updated!

[ravenfusion]

have you drawn or are you working on any characters? I would like to see what you have in store for us.

With scenes like these, I think a lucasarts style character would fit right...

[Privateer Puddin']

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

[Matt Frith]

More excellent backgrounds.......MAKE A GAME
