Background blitz # 12th - 26th april

kaaZ · Mon 12/04/2004 22:55:29

Okay I was browsing the blitz inspiration topic to come up with an idea when I came across this guy (hmm not sure what his name was) who suggested to do a "your favourite monkey Island scene" blitz...pretty cool idea if you'd ask me...I thought it would be even more cool if we'd do a
"Your favourite scene from your favourite adventure in your own style" blitz....
Which means that if Hugo's House of Horrors happens to be your favourite adventure and you accidentally happen to have the exact same drawing style choose your second favourite adventure game

This doesn't necessarily has to be a commercial game...but just name the game and scene you refered to...Also it would be cool to paste a link to the original screenshot (not necessary though)...
Okay since this blitz has a pretty flexible theme let's not get to strict on the rules as well. Just stick with 320*240 or 320*200 @ as much colors a you prefer...
Well I guess that's about it...rest me to wish you happy blitzing.

Cheers !

Woohoo - I really, really like this topic, kaaz! So, in other words, here's my contribution:

I hope everyone recognizes the Stone Circle from Discworld 2... Ahem...
And it's teh animated as well!111!

Hopefully there'll be more entries than in the last blitz...

I like the topic.

If I have time.. i mean, can be arsed to do one i will...

Hey that's a great entry rincewind...can't remember that scene though..it's been ages ago since I finished that game...To bad I couldn't find a screenshot of it....maybe anyone can capture it...I'd love to see the original...

earlwood · Sat 17/04/2004 02:04:23

Great Idea, I am done with my outline, all I need to do now is touch-up a bit and color it.

[edit]
My mother has grounded me and I will not be able to finish my BG(I am using a friends mouse so that I can post a bit).

Here is my unfinished backround

Rincewind · Sat 17/04/2004 18:51:03

Heh, thanks, kaaZ - I would have posted the original bg, but I can't the bloody game to work in XP, and on my old computer the game works, but the printscreen function is fucked up...

Bah.

kaaZ · Mon 26/04/2004 08:50:59

Damn...another blitz that turns out to be a failure...Blitz just isn''t what it used to be...unless people are going to post their entries today...To bad you couldn't finish your kq3 b/g, earlwoord...

Minimi · Mon 26/04/2004 19:49:56

I'm sorry Kaaz, but I just came home today, and if I had the time. I'd made a remake of TLJ scene, in the nightmare. Hope that it cheers you up, that I really liked the rules... just couldn't make the time. I'll see if I can post it in critics lounge... tomorrow.

Darth Mandarb · Mon 26/04/2004 20:17:00

Yeah ... sorry Kaaz.

I was going to redo a SQ III scene, I just ran out of free-time (after the other background thread

)

Maybe, instead of ending this one, you could just extend the deadline?

Won't help me ... I'm leaving town for 2 weeks! But others might want to enter (Minimi)

Minimi · Mon 26/04/2004 20:34:09

Yes it would be great if you could extend for 1 or 2 days!

kaaZ · Mon 26/04/2004 20:41:33

Darth's idea is not that bad...let's extend this blitz for a few more days...so that rincewinds effort hasn't been for nothing and everyone who couldn't finish their b/g in time can still compete....Let's say we'll extend it till friday...
Sorry if I sounded aggitated...I wasn't, really...just hoped to see some kickass entries...

Cheers!

Ginny · Mon 26/04/2004 22:17:36

Ok, I hope I'll make some sort of entry tonight or tomorrow, from Grin Fandango.

Rincewind · Mon 26/04/2004 22:27:08

That sounds like a great idea- I'd rather lose against some kickass entries than win against no entries at all...

So get going, y'all!

Ginny · Mon 26/04/2004 23:13:38

There it is, a rather quick entry, but I was in a drawing mood. We'll see if I feel like this again tomorrow, in which case I'll make a better entry. Right now I am really tired from celebrating our independence day..

This scene really isn't worth much without the character falling and the awesomely voice acted "Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!", but I like the ambience in the original.

Rince, I love your entry!
And earlwood's outlines too.

kaaZ · Tue 27/04/2004 08:42:00

Cool entry Ginny...love the perspective on that one!

Ginny · Tue 27/04/2004 15:54:55

Heh, thankyou.

The cool perspective is of course thanks to the original being so awesome! The cliff turned out strange with those lines, not like the original, but I kinda liked it, heh.

And, apparanty, this is my new style of bg drawing.

kaaZ · Thu 29/04/2004 11:14:30

Well I think it's time to start voting...again two entries this week...At least extending it for a few days gave us an extra entry...so there's some competitions after all...

)

I vote Rincewind for his kickass animated entry!

Ginny · Thu 29/04/2004 14:02:04

Rincewind

. But it truly is an awesome animation, and looks like a great scene. Man, I gotta get Discworld
