from concept picture to functional background

[Andail]

It looks great, Darth!

I highly enjoy seeing the different styles people have displayed here....this makes me proud being an AGS patron!

[Blackthorne]

Here's the latest iteration of my background..... probably one more pass on some detail work, and I'll be done.  But I'll tell you, I've had fun doing this.



Blackthorne

[Evil]

Almost done.

[Darth Mandarb]

Original WiP shot

Finished Piece ...

[remixor]

Almost done.

That's quite awesome.  The wall in particular is great.

[Blackthorne]

Mandarb,

  You suck!  Hehe.  It looks awesome.....really cool.

Very kickass, Darth   . I like the colors. The gray buildings against the brioght grass and sky make it looks like a creepy deserted town. And the trees look great..

I'll borrow Remixor's avatar here, because it seems appropriate:

[MrColossal]

i'm angry.... i can't figure out how to do the grassy bank... i've attempted and reattempted it over and over again and it always looks like teh p00... so sadly i may end up cropping it which would mean getting rid of the water....argh!

[Andail]

Bummer, Mr C!

Just remember this isn't a competition, so you could just show us what you've got so far.

- And be remembered forever as a quitter.
But hey.

[Gilbert]

Moreover, I think it's just a concept art for reference, you don't need to follow exactly the original details, so Mr. C., that means you can make it without the grass actually.

Andail, Right?

[MrColossal]

but but but.... i want to be awesome and draw the whole thing!!

WAAAAAAAAA

[Gilbert]

Why? You can change details or even draw more.

Like, for example, change all the grass to iron needles.

[Ghormak]

I made one Achtung Franz style:



I thought I'd put the mailman in there too to balance the whole thing.

* Privateer Puddin' giggles

good work

[Gilbert]

* Gilbot V7000a giggles too!

Yay that's what you'll see of Andail's bg in AF!

[Andail]

That's a very profound interpretation, Ghormak, I can cearly discern the allusion to the contemporary discourse of dialectical materialism.

If this was a competition, the other contributions would hardly stand a chance against such a master-piece.

[Nacho]

Here it is my unfinished attempt  

I know that the deadline is far, but I have grades and I know that I won't (I shouldn't) put much effort, so... I post this for you to figure how does Petter's image in a "goofy" plain colors style.



I did this in one hour of work, the following to Petter's first post... when I see it I have a feeling shame for not finishing it.  :'(

[Andail]

looks promising, Nachos, but that kind of technique gains so much from being complete...it would be great to see it finished.

But since you have done the outlining, perhaps someone else could pick it up where you left it?

[Haddas]

Here is my extremely late entry, done entirely in Haddas style!

[Milo]

I prefer to think of it as 'stylized'.
