Time to vote people.

scotch · Fri 18/04/2003 22:48:10

I vote Earwigz, very good indeed.

Trapezoid · Fri 18/04/2003 23:03:44

Ditto on the earwigz.

Evil · Fri 18/04/2003 23:21:54

i vote GarageGothic. it was really well done, i dont see why just because it was hand drawn effects his entry... keep drawing GG

scotch · Fri 18/04/2003 23:25:37

It's not that it was hand drawn.. I just don't think it would have worked right in a game sketched out like that.

Evil · Fri 18/04/2003 23:42:23

i was talking to otg...

OneThinkingGal and ._. · Sat 19/04/2003 01:28:06

When did I say it couldn't be hand drawn?

Evil · Sat 19/04/2003 01:37:20

You get an A for effort anyway?

scotch · Sat 19/04/2003 02:08:58

I think she was reffering to how it's not finished.. not that it's hand drawn. Most bgs in games are hand drawn..

You can vote for whatever you like.

I'm not restricting you from voting for it. If anyone wants to vote for Dave's back, thats fine too.

Please don't tell me it's too late to submit the final version of my entry. I worked on it till 3am last night, assuming that 19th was last day to submit. I'm not too familiar with the rules here.

Edit: Just found the rules again in the suggestions thread. I KNEW that I hadn't just miscalculated which day was the 19th, back when I said I wouldn't have time to get online before the deadline.

Anyway, here's the colorized version of my previously posted background. I made two versions, one with the horse shadow and one without. I prefer the one without (less clutter), but now that I see them on a screen brighter than my own, I realize that there are some issues with the framing (no pencil at the very top of the merry-go-round). I think it came out pretty good though. It's my first go at colorizing on computer (I originally wanted to paint by hand, but realized I couldn't get the light bright enough), and I learned a lot making it. Looking forward to the Haunted House blitz.

I like Garage's, but I'm gonna have to go with Earwigz. It was close though!

* Iqu curses himself for over sleeping for eleven and a half hours, therefore missing the deadline.
* Iqu curses his entry for sucking, anyway.
* Iqu votes for GG, based purely on layout, just in case final pic was disqualified.
* Iqu maybe too late vote he isn't sure.
* Iqu apologies if he is.
* Iqu starts pushes pixels for a haunted house.
* Iqu has nipples... not that it's relevent, off course, just true.

Hugs
Iqu

Considering the late entries, I'll leave voting open till midnight today.

Nice work GG, I like the colouring.

Renal Shutdown · Sat 19/04/2003 14:43:20

* Iqu "woohoo's".

AJA · Sat 19/04/2003 15:43:43

I vote for the colored version from GG. The others are too monochrome...

Rincewind · Sat 19/04/2003 16:19:45

GarageGothic, without a doubt.
Incredible colouring!

TheYak · Sun 20/04/2003 03:58:42

I vote Earwig... I really loved GarageGothic and thought it had tons of atmosphere (reminds me of something from AITD 4 or Silent Hill) but Earwig's just screamed noir while GG's was more overall creepy amusement park.

Dave Gilbert · Sun 20/04/2003 04:52:01

* DaveGilbert votes for Earwigz.

OneThinkingGal and ._. · Sun 20/04/2003 05:02:16

Me too earwigz. So that makes ummmm 6 to 4 for earwigz. Congrats Earwigz!

Nice work everyone who entered.
