1 word:
wow

[Silverthorn]

I hate to say this, but your BG is really on the best way of kicking our butts

[Alectric]

sweet, thats what i was going for!
nearly finished, its quite tiring, so hopefully soon, full and final version will be released
i looked at my first screen shot of the background, and i realised i've come a long way in short period of time
thanks for the funky gif lauli!

[Faidan]

nice tree, lauli!

[Alectric]

finally done!!!
here is the final screeny
i will release if people like. i made a new tree based on lauli's gif
and also, i was thinking of adding a shrine, but realised it would block the great view of the sunset!
ok, enjoy

[Lauli]

This looks amazing.
But what about the sky?

[Apocalipsis]

Thought you would use the filtered real sky you have shown us. (I recommend to use that, or atleast that you show us what it looks like with the rest of the Bg)

[Azriel]

imo your s.bmp should be much darker, and the ground should be less grassy and more plain soil (doesn't have to be like BP's compeition entry's level of emptiness, but in your pic, the grass is long, but it doesn't cover the characters, that's y i feel like the bg isn't to its highest standard). best if the grass where the characters are able to stand is short.

also, the section where the front grass layer covers the back grass layer (and the shrine) doesn't merge so well. It would help if the fence is extended, coz then we can see some more 3d effects, or add another object (between shrine and >> fence, that place is too empty so it looks flat rather than a z-axis difference).

the shrine and the fence should be given some texture. Right now it looks more like the ms-paint draw a line and then fill colours on either side of the line rather than proper wood.

and the tree. it's a bit "odd" seeing that the sun's rays are shining towards us, but the tree is still bright when it's between us and the sun. I know what you're trying to do, but that would require the sun to be more on << side, and right now it isn't (don't move it, it's perfect where it is). instead of having the different levels of brightness, you could do leaves of some sort.

=s i'm one to talk. I can't even do any of that. but i'm still a perfectionist in that way.
