Background templates

liamnelson

Hello everyone.. I am having trouble deciding what to put for the background of my game.. do any one of you know a good site that I can buy a background.. I am not really the artist type and my attempt to make one didn't look quite good.

I'm looking for a simple background perhaps with some color fading or lines stuff like that nothing to complicated.

Thank you

liamnelson

Can you sell right now what you have or like 30 backgrounds for like 5 bucks?

steve86

What type of backgrounds tsb? If there's any platformer mario-style parallax-scrolling backgrounds, I'd definitely buy it. Or will they just be generic? But ya, I'd also take 30 right now for 5, or even 10, because that's a lot of work.

Rob2

you just want a plain static background? tileable? any particular colors, size?

steve86

I need nothing to fancy.... bluish fading into orange.. or green fading into orange

steve86

oops sry if you were asking liam

steve86

bummer you are not selling them now.. they look great congratulations.. Let us know when you complete the pack

No platformer backgrounds? Not even as bonus? Ah, well. I'll have to make my own unfortunately.

But still, those look great, and maybe I can still use them somehow.

I think Tshirt has some good things coming, will be well worth the wait, he's a smart guy. Looking forward to the release and the restart of GShelper.com.

haha I know. Im not talking about that though. I may have worded it wrong. It was very generous of him to take the time out and do that. I just wanted to tell you all you have to do is make a huge square covering the canvas, grap the gradient tool, set the gradient to the two colors you want to mix, and put it in there. I understand what you are saying though. I didn't mean it like that:) haha. sorry for the misunderstanding:)

steve86

Hey dreamlab..

thank you for the explanation (see I always give thanks where its due lol)

No problem at all for the misunderstanding ...

cheers

Well it was a bit more than just a two color gradient (maybe someone needs a monitor refresh ) but not rocket science

haha well either way it was nice of you to do that. I should just shut my mouth haha. I tend to just say things before realizing or thinking about others might take it. lol

Rob2

no.. its ok the more I look at it the more basic it becomes But somewhere along the line there were a few layers of tom foolery, there was a texture (don't know where that went) nabbed from keynote and then a gradient with a bit of zoom blur and a vignette, I think it all became a bit subtle.
