Thank you all again for your comments.

Evil, I particularly like the shadows. I hadn't thought about doing that, but it adds so much atmosphere. Thank you!

Just one question, how did you get the line for the shadow of the stuff on the road? Did you just free-hand it?

Thank you for your encouragment Daz.

Space Boy, thank you for your suggestions. The aerial perspective tip is excellent, and I will be making much more use of that. Also, your adjustments to the tonal properties of the image really make a big difference, I can see now that the original is much too vibrant and saturated.


thank you both.

Hello everyone.

I've been thinking for a while about an adventure game I'd like to make, set around a post-apocalyptic city.

So, here is my first attempt at a 'concept' background. I say concept because I made this mainly to try out a photo-montage approach, and to see how long it would take to make backgrounds in this way.

This image was made using Gimp, taking photos from google, and was the result of a day of experimentation.

I'm not talented enough to start from skratch and draw everything, however for the actual game backgrounds (which will obviously be in the correct aspect ratio) I intend to take most of the photographs myself.



I would love to hear what people think about this image.

Thank you so much for your time.
W.
