Oh, I know what Mandle meant, Cassibsg.
No my goal was different from that. At the end it doesn't make a difference, if I just had an imagination, because my inner question has already being answered. I might settle down in the general corner of the forums. I appreciate all the help you have spend guys. Many Thanks and feel hugged.

[SinSin]

SinSin you make it suspenseful.

Don't expect a masterpiece buddy

[SinSin]

In the land of Airships there be Sky Pirates...   Ahar !!!

Know you...  that once a man sets foot on this island he be enlisted by Captain Cutlass for the rest of his sky riding days before being thrown overboard to the depths. ARRRR

FOREVER WINCHING!!

Don't expect a masterpiece buddy

You lied.
It was a masterpiece.

[Mandle]

Don't expect a masterpiece buddy

You lied.
It was a masterpiece.

THIS!

[sketchess]

Stay calm guys, no need for temper.

Glad you made it SinSin. You achieved more than I did. Well, what wasn't hard to be done anyway, actually.
First background that doesn't depends on water somehow. Really like it.

[Mandle]

Stay calm guys, no need for temper.

Sorry, but what is this in reference to? I think you might be joking, but it's hard, for me at least, to tell in text sometimes.

[SinSin]

I'm soooo confused.
I think sketchess thought mandle was angry because of

THIS!

[sketchess]

... Some sort of preventive act. I felt a negative vibration evolving. I just like harmonies more.

So, it is time to vote, like the first post indicates. I still need a little moment to make up my mind, which one I like more and why. You should too guys, I guess.

[Danvzare]

Concept: SinSin (floating island, flying ship, animated streams of water and lava, what more could anyone ask for)
Playability: Blondbraid (It looks like something straight out of CoMI, I can already imagine what items you could pick up)
Artistic Execution: Blondbraid (There's a lot of well drawn backgrounds this time, and it was hard choosing one, but this one has a painted look that I really like)

[cat]

Concept: SinSin with Babar being a close second
Playability: Riaise followed by Blondbraid
Artistic Execution: Blondbraid with honorable mentions to CaesarCub

[Monsieur OUXX]

It was a great journey, many thanks to all of ya.
For the fact that I associate piracy with rule braking, my vote is kind of dedicated to that.


CONCEPT - Blondbraid
I was looking for the strongest story by a picture itself to be told. You truly achieved that in your background. Every detail is a piece of the puzzle and they complement each other very well. So well done.

ARTISTIC EXECUTION - SinSin
I was looking for the strongest answer for my hopes of a rule braker in terms of traditional pirate themes. The interaction of simplicity, rough but clear texture and the blurry parts working very well together. I love the way you choose to highlight the floating Island as center part, it comes out really strong. So well done.

PLAYABILITY - Babar
I was looking for the greatest possibilities to get crazy in execution of the process. Memories of Monkey Island 2 and Sam and Max popped out. They had really funny and crazy stuff going on their maps and opened up the game by it. So I put you in my sentimental favor. Your background is really fun promising and I enjoy to look at it over and over again. So well done.

... Some sort of preventive act. I felt a negative vibration evolving. I just like harmonies more.

Nothing like that was happening you'll be glad to know:

SinSin said his entry wasn't a masterpiece, and we were calling him a liar because it obviously is a masterpiece.

So yeah, it was kinda a concealed compliment, but nothing negative at all!

[sketchess]

Mandle *tousle

Nice you stopped by OUXX. Hope everything worked out well for ya the last years.

[Cassiebsg]

Bluntly stealing cat's voting, because not only I agree with it 100% it also expresses my feelings.
