Fizzii> Thats simply amazing, I really will take you're advice and use it on my other backgrounds. Can I use this paintover?

The grass looks the same all over to me.

The only problem I see here is that you didn't sketch you're drawing. It is virtually impossible to make a GOOD background without sketching it first with detail. 

I think it looks too plain, a bit less than basic. But Those designs are the most effective. 

They all look really good. I specially like the ginger hair, pretty cool style.

in my opinion the grass looks perfect, don't change it 

i think the cloud-like tree leaves is a unique feature of the artist, don't change it 

the water in the newer still looks a bit like a flood, i'm no artist but i'm sure you can get it right 

the red ?berries? on the floor look a bit odd - i'd advise not so many of them spread out. just doesnt look right


great pic anyway

Those are the flowers. The berries can only be seen when used in full resolution. Thanks for the comments.

The background now has more tree texture.



I dont think grass is such a major issue, I cant spend all my time doing the grass pixel by pixel. 

Thank you all for the comments and keep them coming.

Goél raises an interesting point - does this scene serve a practical purpose, or is it just a 'filler' bg the character has to cross in order to get somewhere else?

It would certainly look lovely as a filler bg - sierra used them in the kings quest series nicely, but for such a beautiful scene (which it is!) I'd love to see it be taken full advantage of.

I do prefer the original contrast of your picture, as do I like the simplicity of the 'green clouds with fruit' It's very atmospheric. But I do agree with the others about the water. I imagine this scene is taking place at the BOTTOM of a hill, where the ground has levelled out, there's a pond, and the hill rises off beside you. But at the moment, the ground doesn't seem to have a level. It just seems to keep sloping down, in which case there would be no water there. It would all have run down to the bottom

I also like the cloud like trees, it adds to the mythycal atmosphere. I removed the sky and added the mod and some additional shading:



I dont believe in filler scenes anymore, and you're all wrong, there is much you can do in this background:

A) Pick Berries. (fetch spell or DIY)

B) Pick Tangerine. (fetch spell)

C) Drink water.

D) Put water in flask.

E) Searching under/in log.

F) Take vine. (levitate spell) (fetch spell not stronge enough)

G) Talk to magical creature living in trees. (not shown here because she is hidden, the player will get hints of *something* being there.

H) Pick Flower. (fetch spell or DIY)

(8 in total)

Well most backgrounds dont even have half as much interaction as my backgrounds do. All my backgrounds have the most extreme interaction.

Well the leaves are there just very small, How long would it take to draw EVERY individual leaf. I'll give it ago though.

Honestly that contrast makes it look rather crappy. But I will make it slightly darker and add some mud. Thanks guys, I hardly get any comments on my work, and do aprichiate (sp) them.

It's like a hill, the player will walk down it.

Really nice! It's got it's own special style. Like a painting. I especially like the treetrunks.

Thanks, I dont knoow what to call my style these days, I usually go with ''VGA-like''. Thanks again for you're kind words. Im currently working on a portrait, man they are so hard. Give me a background anyday. 

You're all a bunch of Star Wars haters, all the star wars films were amazing. I am sure this film will be very good too. I wish they would actually make a movie out of the Jedi Knight game series, the story in that game is amazing and the characters have an amazing amount of depth and story. I got the whole series. 

This idea is simply wicked, I'd be willing to help out if we ever form a team for pimping games. I do sierra style VGA graphics, AGI/Picedit Graphics and am very good with making logos.

[[~EDIT~]]

Well here is one of the backgrounds for a yet to be announced project. I would love all c&c you guys can give me, I want to improve my skills a bit more.

Final Version?:

1x:


2x:

That looks amazing! 

Reptile, though having some screenshots is nice, you don't really need them for complete game announcements (provided you have the complete game for download), screenshots are only required for posting in the "Games in Production" forum (to prove that you are really making the game).

Yes, but it would be nice to see what Im downloading... And Im sure he would attract more attention if he showed some screenshots for eye candy.

Please show at least 2 screenshots.

Its perfect I love the jedi.

Plans for a Jedi Fan game? 

I love the textures.
