Update 1:
Cleaned up some of the lines. Damn those circles were tricky.

Update 2:
More work on the lines. Starting to tidy up a lot more now, hell I might even make some progress on this.

Update 3:
Yet more work on the lines...So many lines...Changed the colours too.

Well, since all the pressing graphics the programmer needed have been made, I decided to pull my finger out and get to work on the first backdrop of the game I'm working on. I had it drawn out on paper some number of weeks ago, and it seems it was time to give my new graphics tablet a try, here's how things are going so far:

Step 3: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/328/arkonbackdrop1122cv.p ng

Sigh, so unbelievably huge...

I think this will take you forever to finish, but it looks worth it. Is it supposed to be a destroyed Space Station or is it just a gigantic Space Ship?

Oh my f**king God.
So huuuuuge
As a sketch, it's fine, there's not much to say about it yet except that I like the overall design a lot.

Woah, this is gonna take you a while to finish. I'm sure the result will be great though

Can't wait to see it finished.

Wouldn't it be better to make it tiled? Because right now I don't think making something that big is such a good idea - too much effort for too little effect.

I've been asking myself the same question. I'll fiddle around, see how good I can get it to look with tiles. The creation process will most likely be somewhere between making tiles and a large picture, I predict

Hey, eyecraft! Less posting on the forums! I wanna see you finish this as soon as possible, cause your sh*t rocks my socks, man. If 2d games were still the only option we wouldn't see you at all, you'd have been snapped up by some bigass gaming company.

Yeah, more work, less talk!

-cracks his slavedriver whip-

FASTER!

Update! Yes this is still alive. Had to work on some other graphics first before I could back to this, so here's an update since then
