background blitz - feb 19th to march 3rd

loominous · Sun 29/02/2004 07:38:42

I have to admit I forgot about the hotel part when I made this one (only remembered creepy room) but with some goodwill I guess it could be called:

Suite in Abandoned Hotel

x2

I have no idea where the light is coming from btw and the perspective is lacking. Was done very quickly; just wanted to get an entry in.

That rocks!

kaaZ · Sun 29/02/2004 22:07:27

That sure is a creepy room loominous...walking into that room with that guy sitting over there would scare the hell out of me...I love your entry! Great work...

kaaZ · Fri 05/03/2004 00:56:14

isn't this comp supposed to end...euh 2 days ago ?

plasticman · Fri 05/03/2004 01:10:49

technically it ended 13 hours ago.
so yeah, start voting guys.

not sure yet which to choose, i'll throw my vote later.

MrColossal · Fri 05/03/2004 03:15:16

tie between k.a.a.z. and wanderlady5000

i think i'll choose wanderlady for the great angle

i like how Darth just keeps taking images from his game and posting them, whoever wins should make the next blitz "Draw a background from Darth's game"

meanwhile all this time i thought that was a window on the right side of loominous' entry... i just realized it was a bureau... I am smrat!

Darth Mandarb · Fri 05/03/2004 05:26:35

I vote for Wanderlady's. It doesn't really look like a hotel room to me, but it's definately seedy and I like the Zelda top-down look.

Loominous' is just beautiful too, but doesn't look seedy (though creepy) nor like a hotel room (well ... maybe a REALLY expensive hotel!)

:'( The last two were drawn just for the competitions. They do use the style of my game I'll admit, but neither of them appear in my game. (some elements I pulled in ... like the Jeep, but most are 100% just for the BG blitz.)

I'm sorry if that bothered anybody ... I certainly didn't mean to.

hehe

i don't care i was just commenting

as my man 50cent would say:

"I wouldn't rhyme about Rolleys if I had no watch
Wouldnt write about crack if I ain't had no spot"

i think that pretty much sums it up

loominous · Fri 05/03/2004 06:48:15

Tough choice between Darth's n kaaz'.

Think kaaz' entry suffers somewhat from the same problem as mine (although in a much lower extent), in that it doesn't look much like a hotelroom.

Darth's on the other hand lacks the finesse of kaaz'.

So from a thematical point of view I vote for Darth's.

Minimi · Fri 05/03/2004 11:17:01

I vote for Kaaz!

Actually I like MrColossal's better, but it already excisted as a background... and also, Kaaz is from Holland

kaaZ · Fri 05/03/2004 11:32:48

I have to choose between m.r. c.o.l.o.s.s.a.l. 's and loominous' while wanderlady's entry is pretty cool as well just as Darth's...hmmm...Think I'll go for mr. colossals entry....even though he doesn't want to win...

Hey minimi don't vote for me because I'm from holland, that's a lame reason

)

Anywayz this turned out to be a pretty good blitz...

Cheers!

Rincewind · Fri 05/03/2004 11:42:14

Hm, this is a tough decision, but I say Kaaz.

plasticman · Fri 05/03/2004 17:14:37

let's see.

i like loominous' for the gloomy mood, but like it was said, it doesn't really match the chosen topic.

Mr Colossal's just doesn't look as uninviting as the other submissions (i wish i had the same wallpaper in my room by the way).

i like the angle and details on wanderlady's.

kaaz has a really nice style, but the pic feels somewhat unfinished to me.

in the end, i'm voting for DM's.
i can't say its quality beats every other entry, but i consider it the best rendition of the subject "seedy hotel room".

we'll have to give this a few more hours and hope for more votes...

Chicky · Fri 05/03/2004 17:34:08

loominou's rocks, so i vote for loominous... yup its great

but i really like the other entries, especially darths, which is obviously 100% original. Well if you've played JP and Cosmo that is.

wel done

QuoteIt doesn't really look like a hotel room to me...

True, *chuckle*, I realized that when I was finished. $:-\$

Everyone's background has something good in it, making it hard to choose. Custard's is mysterious. I felt the windows were my eyes and imagined this whole zooming-in thingy

.
I like Mage's messiness. Kaaz' gave me some interesting thoughts with the balloon/blood combination. Eric's had great colors. The, though they be few, details - hand prints, stains - in Rincewind's are awesome. I would love to see what loominous could do if he takes his time!
But the vote goes to Darth. His has the seediness, and creepy B-movieness. But Darth, how do I get in there, man?

Darth Mandarb · Fri 05/03/2004 18:41:57

QuoteBut Darth, how do I get in there, man?

Hehe! I noticed that as I was developing it. The door is supposed to be on the front wall (in front of the Jeep next to the window) but with that perspective used it's hard to make that obvious and I didn't want to make the door sitting open soo .... it's a mystery room!

Or I could just say, "Because it's such a 'seedy' hotel there is no front door!"

Thanks for the vote!

ok, i think we've given this epic blitz more than enough time.

if i can still count properly, darth mandarb wins by a short hand, closely followed by wanderlady and kaaz.
congratulations, young fellow !

Darth Mandarb · Sat 06/03/2004 05:58:06

Woohoo!!

Good blitz this time around!

I'll start the next one ASAP.
