We all know how it goes. For eons mankind has endeavored to seek out new frontiers and find new places previously unheard of.
And then the tourists show up.
The challenge here lies in drawing a background
where only your imagination sets the limit,
and you can make it precisely as beautiful as you want...
BUT you have to insert this sprite into it when you are done:

Which place will the tourists ruin next? An old castle, a south-european city, a tropical paradise, a remote asteroid or something completely different?
Oh... sounds interesting :)
I'm definitely in! (if I can find the time... already have an idea too!) (nod) :-D
Awesome idea! Let's see if I can come up with something...
Question: Would it be ok to to shrink the guys to half their size? I might be more comfortable with a lower resolution...

Sure, feel free to resize the sprite if you want to do a smaller background!
I just know this'll be hilarious. :-D
You made me do this.

Funny, albeit macabre.

the tourists notived they must have taken a wrong turn or wrong teleporter somewhere when they arrived at the twintemple on planet Flokko. There is even enough time to take a picture and pick up some ancient alien stones.

My vote goes to .....the graveyard.
This is a tough one, on the one hand I think the Graveyard looks the best, but the Tourist Trap is just so fitting. :-\
Hmm...
I've given it a lot of thought, and my vote goes to the Graveyard by Fred Five. Sorry Grok. :(
All the entries are fantastic, but my vote goes to the graveyard by Fred Five.
my vote goes to the graveyard of course. It inspired my entry to the contest :)
I admire all this background work which greatly surpasses my skill level. Kudos to all entrants.
I vote: A graveyard by Fred Five
Don't know if it's the theme, the art or both... but I really like
3. The twintemple on planet Flokko by selmiak.
I'm voting for the Twintemple by selmiak. It's just so cool looking!
Ahh this is hard. I will go for the graveyard but I really like Selmiak's entry too. It has a unique look and I wanted to vote for both but sadly I must choose so...Fred Five you got my vote :D

Happy that you liked it, and congratulations to all of you, all of the entries were great!
Been a while, is anyone picking this up?
I'm also interested to know. maybe the 2:nd place winner should have the honor to start then? Just get on with it! Nooooow :D
I'm second place winner und currently busy with mags, no time to host a bg blitz, 3rd place winner can take over :)
Grok, are you going to pick this up, or should I do it?
Or maybe Selmiak can do it now since the MAGS is over?
I don't want to see the Background Blitz die! :~(
