So! Today was a nice quiet Sunday, and with no backgrounds to paint for any games in progress, I decided it would be a fine day to draw a mockup for an adventure game! I love drawing little adventure game scenes, even if they never turn into actual games.
I played Eternally Us again for the first time in ages last night, and was pleased by how lovely Steve's falling snow looks, so I decided to spend my mockup time drawing a snowy kinda scene. I'd spent quite a bit of my morning looking through Paul Lasaine's stuff, and so quite unsurprisingly ended up painting a kinda fantasy scene suitable for a point and click adventure. Compared to the snow scene in Eternally Us, this one looks much nicer - I've started using a lot smaller brushes and painting at actual size rather than painting large and downsizing, and it seems to be paying off.
Painted the scene in just over an hour, drew the character in just over half an hour, all the while listening to the delightful album Cinéma by those shoe gazing folks known as The High Violets.
Speaking of Eternally Us, the AGS award nominations for 2010 have been announced, and it seems we got quite a few noms for EU. Big thanks to everyone who voted, we got more nominations than I honestly expected to get, so what a lovely surprise.
Anyhow, back to work on real AGS game stuff!

Love the trees in the back. And I hope EU wins, it deserves it in my opinion.
Thanks! I've been fond of drawing trees for years now, I find them very interesting to draw and paint.
Whether we win anything or not, it's still super cool to see people nominated EU. There were tons of cool games released last year, so it's a real honour :)
And -of course- congrats on the much deserved Eternally Us nominations. Best of luck my friend!
Thank you, kind sir, for both the congrats and the luck!
You are such an incredible inspiration. I love this particular post - reminds me of sitting down with a good cup of tea and some inspiring fantasy art books. This scene, especially the back "tower" and the cold blues offset by the fire are so adventure-gamey... really makes me want to explore more.
Just wonderful.
Thanks Eriq, what a lovely comment!
For me, making someone want to explore a new world is the ultimate goal of a background, so it's great to know that I can achieve such a thing.
After you've got the main element, it may be time for it to head towards the actual Oracle Buy RS Gold. You will discover the particular Oracle across the Dwarven Mines. Take with you the actual Man made fibre, Wizard's head explosive device, unfired serving, and also the Seafood pot. The actual Oracle will tell you in regards to a doorway inside the mines which is normally secured. Now, head to the mines. The threshold your Oracle had been speaking about is actually nearby the particular northeast part of the mine. Remember, to take down the Man made fiber, Wizard's head bomb, unfired serving, and also the Lobster container Buy Runescape Gold. Because you go walking by way of the threshold, these products will appear reduced. You can find a new chest the following using a Guide item.
