Yeah, this looks great - I especially love that palm tree in the first picture - Excellent work!  

Hey, that's a pertty nice sketch, although it is rather rough.
Seeing as my favourite thing to draw always has been demons, monsters and so forth, I thought I'd whip this up to give you some tips.



First of all, if you use ordinary paper from your printer, I would advise you not to - Buy some real paper instead, it may be a bit more expensive, but it's worth it if you want quality.
Also, do not ever smudge by using your fingers - There's a risk that you may wrinkle the paper, and the smudging often looks bad, too. Buy a "stomper" instead.

Secondly, the flames in your picture are a bit like spikes - while real fire is more swirly, you might say. Watch a real fire for some reference, and then try to replicate it.
The face is not too bad, actually - I wouldn't worry about the proportions, since this is a demon, their proportions can be a bit twisted...
But the nose(?) looks a bit akward, as it is more or less a dark shape in the middle of the face. Try making the nose as if it was on a cranium (Like in the above picture) if you want a good, demonic effect.
Just try as hard as you can, and practice a lot - That's the best way...
Good luck, man.
   

Snake:
Heh, no - You can be sure there are no alternate realities in the game... But you never know, I might throw that in just for fun... Hehe.
The shelves are empty, because I will have objects there, which the player will be able to buy. I'll add some to the background, but most of it will be pretty empty before I put it in the editor, so to speak...
And I actually did a rack of postcards for the counter, but it looked like some robot martian with serious anorexia or something...

I'm working on the office, and I'm working on a filing cabinet right now, but I've got a hard time getting the perspective right... Phew...  
A bulletin board isn't a bad idea either - I think I'll include that.

Neole:
Thanks! I will add more to the second one.  

Ok, I'm not finished by far yet, but I thought I'd post so that you can see how far I've got. I tried doing a circular window, but it didn't look right.
I've also made the floor a bit less clean, added some stuff on the brick-a-brack-shelf, plus I made an attempt to define shadows a bit more, but I don't know if I managed...  

aurynnz:
Hey, that's some detailed critisism! Thanks for the tips, now I know what to change. I've done some chnages already, but I'll do even more now... Hehe.

Trap has the best word of wisdom so far, I think...

- "Real kids don't go hoppity-skip unless they are on drugs."
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather.

Darth, this is great! You are extremely good at making characters! I love 'em all, but I think that something is a bit wrong with Chewies legs.
And I would also like to see The Emperor and some of the imperial officers, as a little request...

Keep up the good work, man!
Må kräftan vara med dig.

The "5% Off"-sign may be a bit off, so to speak, yes. But I didn't get it too look good when I made it straight.

Yeah, you could call it a Thank You-easter egg...  Just three AGS games I'm really looking forward too...  
And of course there'll be snakes. Loads of the buggers.  

Once again, I agree with Scummy. The background looks extremly cool, and it fits perfectly with the character. Show us more...

Hey, thanks all for the suggestions and comments! I really appreciate it!

Will: (A lot easier to type than your full screen name... Sorry...)
Joey The Rocker is undergoing Beta testing now, and I'm going to fix a lot of bugs and errors. But hopefully it  won't take too long.
I also realized after downloading your Punk Quest that our games have quite a lot in common - Just that your is about a punk, and mine about a heavy metal-type...  Hehe.

GinnyW:
Well, it's going to be a serious, mystery/thriller game, alá GK and Broken Sword(-Cliché-Warning-), about a young art student who moves into a seemingly rural and quiet mountain community... But of course, nothing is what is seems to be... As usual... As I mentioned, I will be doing all of the story before I even touch the AGS Editor, and not do as I did in JTR, and just make up the plot as I go along... Ahem...
 
Iqu:
Well, it's supposed to contemporary times, in a small american mountain town. But who knows - Maybe there was a gold rush there once upon a time?
And I'll try to correct the perspective issues too. Never seem to get them right, do I?  

Czar:
Aye, you may be right about the chair - I'll move the desk down a bit.
And thanks for all the suggestions! Now I've got some more inspiration...
(I actually have a version of the background with a water Machine, but I wasn't sure if it looked good or not, so I saved it as another picture...)
And I like the idea of a circle shaped window - I might do that.

Vargtass:
Hehe, thanks. I get what you mean - My perspective knowledge isn't what it should be...

Slamgrinder:
A picture of the boss with darts in would be a good idea, but this is actually supposed to be the boss' office... Hehe. Maybe I'll do that in some other room...

And just one final thing: The poster in the first picture - Does it look allright? I mean, it doesn't look akward compared to the rest of the background?

Thanks, all! Don't know what I'd do without you.

Hey, GinnyW, thanks for commenting!

Hehe, no, that's not a broken mirror, although it looks a bit like one, now that I think about it.... It's just a window. Heh.

You may be right - I'll try to make it straight and see how it looks.

A certificate or a dimploma is a good idea, I was thinking of something along those lines, but I didn't get it to look too good. I might try again, and see if I can improve upon my first attempts...

And so far I've only done the rooms I'm absolutely certain will be a part of the game. I'm not even close to finishing the story, but I've got the main ideas. I might be needing someone to help me eith some ideas and plotting, but so far it's no problems...  

Mr.Masse, you are definately right - Sweden feels like one giant steaming kettle right now. I've bathed more during these last days then I did during the whole of last summer... Phew.
I bet it's some weird scientist named Ed who has made some crazy weather machine. This whole greenhouse effect thing is just a coverup...  

Wow, this is definately one of the best AGS games I've played in a long time - Great humour, lots of animations, and background that make me green of envy... Great job! I'll see if I can manage to finish it without asking for help...

Well, I've been planning and planning to get a good story for my next game, and thanks to Snake and Leitors Edge, I know how to do it a bit better now...
Anyway, here are two backgrounds I've been working on recently, that I need some comments on. The first one is a shop, and the second is the police officers offfice.
I know that the shelves are empty, but they will be filled with things when I've figured out a bit more of the plot and the puzzles.




 
The office definately needs some help - But I can't really think of what do do to make it look less empty.

Nics + Nacs
Look with your eyes!
Not your hands!

Hehe, that's great, Eggie! Neat background.
But is it only me, or is the floor kind of... Um...
Tilted?

Wow! Incredible! I love the graphics - This is a game on my waiting list for sure.  

Nice thing that you can have 666 points, too... Ahem...  

Yeah, this looks really nice. It's certainly got a touch of Outlaws in it, like Scummbuddy says. You got to love that game.

And I really dig your name and avatar - The Big Lebowski is one of the best movies I have ever seen.  "Am I wrong?"

Ah, this is good. It reminds me of "That Night Before" a lot. I usually don't like black outlines, but in this case it fits pretty nicely.  
Keep 'em coming, man.

Hey, that's great! Nice to see an amateur game get some attention - And Pleurghburg is definately worth all attention it can get.  Nicely, nicely.

Wow... I haven't checked out your thread recently, but I realize now what I've missed... Incredible, man! You should really get yourself a gallery at Elfwood, if you haven't got one already, that is...  

And the latest one is really nice. In a sadistic, gory way.
