Yes, you can edit your entry until the deadline.

I'd be more than a little impressed if someone can guess the inspiration for this sketch:

Hint: it's a series of books.

Janos Biro · Fri 14/02/2014 19:47:30

There was a man with a hat there?

selmiak · Fri 14/02/2014 20:57:29

looks like some final fantasy stuff and sure looks great miez.
Are planning to paint this or pixel this?

Miez · Fri 14/02/2014 22:44:44

It's going to be pixeled, and indeed - there was (very briefly) a man with a hat, but that was only for size reference

I'm glad I was not seeing things. It's a steampunk series?

Eric · Fri 14/02/2014 22:57:22

My guess was The Adventures of Mark Twain, The Adventures of Jules Verne, or The Explorigator. I don't think it's any of those. But as an amateur airship aficionado, I'm eager to find out.

Miez · Fri 14/02/2014 22:59:04

Nope, nope, nope: not steampunk, not Final Fantasy, not Mark Twain, Jules Verne or the Explorigator (?)

Eric · Fri 14/02/2014 23:06:21

Early 20th Century comic strip in the mode of Little Nemo.

I just saw the series of books hint! Hmm....

Janos Biro · Fri 14/02/2014 23:13:11

How many non steampunk series have airships on rails?

There are some!

TGames · Sat 15/02/2014 03:26:11

i think i am going to just stick with my first entry and not redo it.

Lasca · Wed 19/02/2014 20:58:49

So this is my entry:

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/QjAehdN.png[/imgzoom]

Really wanted and needed to do more work on it, add a GUI and a character like the rest of y'all among other things, but life and my schedule was working against it.
Anyways, I'm pretty happy about it.

So, can anyone tell where it's from? The font's a clue!

Update:
Exits: The door and the ladders down and to the right.
Hotspots: In the bookshelf you'll find a book about sharks and in the desk you'll find both a harmonica and a pen knife.

Eric · Wed 19/02/2014 21:40:21

Welp, I'm giving up on this round. After being beaten to the punch on the 12 Tasks of Asterix, I should probably now scrap my crappy Darjeeling train coach in light of Lasca's amazing view of the Belafonte.

Lasca · Wed 19/02/2014 22:49:36

Thank you Eric! I'd love to see your crappy Darjeeling train coach, so don't scrap it!
And yes! It's a room (do you say room about boats?) from the Belafonte, from Life Aquatic.
