Does anyone remember an old adventure game revolving around Haley's Comet and a man who went insane after looking at it? I seem to recall it had some connection with 'Call of Cthulu', but the name of the game escapes me. Sorry for the vague descriptions and all, but that's all I remember.

And I've been fiddling around with it. The colours are pretty garrish but it's just a (relatively) quick example.

Magna Carta don't count, does it?

I've downloaded the latest AGS, but when I go to start a new game and type the filename for it, it says an error occured and that I've either disabled " or / keys or I've already created a game with the same name. This isn't the case though, as I've tried creating new file names with random letters and numbers and still the same error comes up. Any help with this little problem would be appreciated.

Updated picture. I took out all the shading in the end, because it was a pain and I'm no good at it. And I can't draw fire hydrants either, so I just put a bin there.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Loominous, I thought the colours were a bit bright, as I myself was having problems when I placed the bald guy by the wall and saw that he almost 'blended' into it. I don't have any of those proper programs like PSP, but I do have this default program called M-Soft photo editor, which allows you to adjust the colouring.

Ali, thanks for the picture, that shading and cloth image works great, I've added it to the background. The shading on the box is a little awkward to calculate accurately, I agree, but I'm just going to stick one of those small red fire-hose like things they have in America (don't know what they're called), on the corner of the street, to detract attention away from it.

TheDude, I see where you're coming from, and I'm gonna address the problem. To everyone else, thanks for the replies, praise, opinions and criticisms, it's much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi all, I'm a new guy around here. I thought I'd have something to show for myself before I posted here, so here's a background I drew, plus I added a few characters as well, to give you an idea of my drawing style. Constructive criticism and the like will be welcomed.

edit: Just edited to say that I'm aware the market stall isn't finished yet, in case some of you picked up on it.
