Oh, that Vulcania area.  Man I was thinking more of a heavenly area.  Yeah, I guess it would cause that similarity.

Well, as I said in a previous reply, I was considering a tightrope set-up, but then decided to go for something more bridge-like.

[Cassiebsg]

Okay, was planing to animate it, but don't have more time to work on this right now, so I'll let your imagination animate it instead. 

A bridge consisting of levitating stones (should be moving up/down slightly) and a side "force field" (was suppose to animate round).

[DBoyWheeler]

Woo!  This is REALLY neat!

[Mouth for war]

I'm going away and don't know how long the voting will last so i cast mine now just in case on threeohfour. :-)

[selmiak]

I wanted to use blender to sketch things and then overpaint it. But sadly other things got in the way.
This is how far I got, I'l post it anyways

[Cassiebsg]

That's one massive crazy bridge. 

[Blondbraid]

Wow, Selmiak and Cassiebsg, both your bridges look cool and trippy!

[Cassiebsg]

Concept: selmiak (a 3 way bridge? Only ever "seen" one before in my day dreams!  )
Playability: Blondbraid (with a close 2nd Mouth for war)
Artistic Execution: ThreeOhFour (with a very close second runner Blondbraid)

[DBoyWheeler]

Here are my votes:

Concept: Mouth for War (Different way of showing a bridge, but shows that anything can be used as a bridge as long as it can get you safely across a gap.)
Playability: Cassiebsg (I can see a puzzle of you gathering spell ingredients, some crystals, or otherwise the means to make the stones levitate to make the bridge.)
Artistic Execution: ThreeOhFour (it was a hard choice between him and Blondbraid--but ThreeOhFour barely made it on top.  It's probably because it makes me think of the Realm of the Dead from King's Quest 6--but with daytime (the KQ6 Realm of the Dead is perpetual night)).

[Danvzare]

Concept: selmiak (I can barely tell that it's a bridge, which makes it a great and unique concept to me)
Playability: Mouth for war (It looks like it came straight out of a game)
Artistic Execution: ThreeOhFour (There's just something about the way it's drawn that I really like)

[selmiak]

Concept: Cassiebsg, I like the idea of a levitating bridge
Playability: Mouth for war, just because it's fun to walk through a hollow tree trunk
Artistic Execution: Blondbraid, with 304 a close second but too rough

[Blondbraid]

Concept: selmiak, it's just so grand and surreal, it sort of reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus
Playability: Cassiebsg, making the bridge levitate seems like a puzzle in and on itself
Artistic execution: ThreeOhFour, it has a wondrous atmosphere, invoking beauty and dread alike

[Riaise]

Concept: Cassiebsg, the levitating stones are a really nice idea.
Playability: Mouth for war, it's easy to see how the player would move around screen and there are plenty of opportunities to add puzzles.
Artistic Execution: Blondbraid, it just looks really lovely, with the mist in the abyss under the bridge and the mountains in the background. I know you like historical settings, but would you ever consider making a game in a fantasy setting, Blondbraid? Because I'd play it if it looked like that!

Indeed I love SotC and played a lot of the lovely The Last Guardian lately. This sure influenced this construction

Who will host the next background blitz?

Spoiler

I did not count Mouth for War's premature vote when handing out the trophies, because it didn't follow the voting system (specified in the opening post) and all entries hadn't been posted at that time. Also, I wanted everyone to have a trophy However, I will take this vote into account when appointing the next host, which means that this honour belongs to ThreeOhFour. Unless of course you all want to join in on a threesome.

Thank you all and my congratulations to the winners!

[DBoyWheeler]

I won 3rd Place!?!?!?!?!

[Cassiebsg]

Congrats all! 
And thanks bunch for the votes and comments!     

[Mouth for war]
