These are some backgrounds That are not going to be in the demo. The demo won't be out till after cristmas. I apologise for the delay. Make sure to look at these.

This is a basic desert I made.I added shade to make it look good. I also added some sand dunes, sky effects and some cool clouds. It's not going to be released in the demo. I'm just showing some things from the game. Well here it is:

This is a dock leading to another town. You and some heros walk accross it till you get into a battle.This is the battle background. I added spray brush for moss and/or trees.this is what it looks like:

This is a snow background with mountains. I added shade effects, snow on the mountains, cliffs,sky effects to make it look more appealing, and snow effects. This is the picture of it:

I suck at making backgrounds, so I guess in my opinion It's okay. I don't like the dock one though. I hate using spraypaint for backgrounds.

Good lord.. I totally take back everything bad that I ever said about you. These have got to be the best backgrounds I've ever seen for an OHR game.
Granted, there are a few things that could be worked on, like the quality of the spray-brushing. Granted, the parts that aren't spray-brushed look relatively flash and texture-less compared to those that are. It would certainly give the background more character if you used more spray-brushing on the parts that you haven't used it on yet.
Overall, the style is great. I look forward to seeing more of your works. Big grin

Well heres a background that is in the demo. I used the spray brush for this one and added some effects. I hope you like it. Tell me your comitts, good or bad I don't mind. I origginally made a tall grass one but it sucked so heres the remake. This took me a while to make the tall grass. Well here it is:

It did this before the server must be down. Thats what I hate about geocities. I might use something else instead.

The grass background isn't very bad, better than the others.

Very nice. The grass is very tasty. I like the docks one as well. The mountains and in the other 2 backgrounds need work.

*Could you not even spell the title for this topic right...

For your own style, that's pretty darn good. You have a much better perception of perspective than I do in most cases.

RM: If you ever read this: That grass back drop is brilliant. I love the layered effect I get from the grass in the foreground next to the grass in the background. The other ones are decent, but the grass is great.

Heres a new background added in my game:

It's a waste land.

heres all of them togather:

The wasteland.... sucks. Sorry it does.
The desert one looks like you went line happy with that straight line tool.
The dock has an unneccessary amount of spray paint... And the coloring is awful.
The mountains are mediocre....
The grass is probally the best one because the coloring looks right and the grass blades look.... well decent.

Like I told you before. There's always room for improvement, but this is a great step to achieving that.

I think you should add something else to the wasteland. It looks kind of dull.
