Background Blitz :: May 10 - May 24 ::

Idea - Jburger

Atmosphere - Edloen, its so faerie tale and full of inviting intrigue.

design - Jburger, has an eye for detail and depth

composition - Jburger, depth and perspective is reached through use of intelligent use of colours and layers to create the impression of space.

functionality - this was difficult as all good theoretically work, I found Vertigo's style to be a consistant and the cleanness of the art allows for the interactivity to take place.

technique - while i do think Jburger has the best rendering, I actually want to nominate Edloen, because his style is very individualistic and clean and I think the style used is deceivelably simple. It is a nostalgic reminder of childrens illustrations - I think the style works well with the idea and setting.

Raddicksbeat me to it

My votes go like this

Idea                    Jburger  
Atmosphere         Meat  
Design                 Meat
Composition        Jburger
Funtionality         Meat
Technique           Jburger

In all i liked them all no 2 ways about it but these two stood out to me
Although none were caves, as such Jburger was closest with the Bunker but in terms of will sprites work with it i believe that the sprites needed for Meats pic would be more of my style
  Although i hate giving decisions i have to go with my final descision of ...

Jburger to win  outright
Meat               2nd
Vertigo addict 3rd
EdLoen           4th
Cobra79         5th
Raddicks         6th   Far to blurry

But a good turn out  and a great subject

I love the way the light and the shadows work on the floor of the room.

I particularly like the curtains and the floor.

I think this one would work well in a game.

Since I don't think that I can vote on myself (darn it) these are my votes...

Idea- raddicks

Truly original and interesting concept, an alien planet, no one else thought of that.

Atmosphere- Cobra & Meat

These two were the only ones who I thought really made me feel like their places were unihabited; the others felt (excluding mine) felt like there'd be a tribe of face painted little people or a gathering for many furry animals or something.

Composition- Edloen

I like the camera angle, it's above, behind the tree, gives a nice touch to it. The angle of the ruin was great and the picture as a whole I think is sorta balanced.

Technique - TheJburger

You know why.
