Here is my latest background


I'm quite happy with the composition, but I'm interested in trying to do a paint over to make it more in the 256 color style, say like the Blackwell series.

There are a lot of remake projects that seem to paint over an original EGA background, so any tips on how to get started doing this?

PS I have a copy of photoshop and a bamboo.

That's right - A Secret Lab.

It might be a room full of genetic experiments, an alchemists mixing chamber, the entrance to a military base inside of a volcano.
Or just something strange concealed in the basement. Whatever it is, it's a secret and the owner doesn't want you to know about it.

Competition runs from Oct 25 to November 10

Look forward to seeing the entries!

I've decided I want to improve my background drawing skills. So I have decided to start drawing 16 color backgrounds, trying to also find a style in the meantime.

A cross between sierra's SCI0 games and LucasArts EGA titles would be nice to get down.



It took me way too long to do, 4 or 5 hours? I lost track of time. Also I found the lighting quite difficult.
