Flash Game Art

Here is some background and level artwork for a mini side-scrolling game I worked on in Flash.
I included some breakdowns - on the left side you can see how the different repeating background layer panels are broken up for the parallax effect during gameplay.










The sidewalk platform gets randomly generated at different lengths and heights. The length chooses a random number and then uses it to pick from a random combination out of the 4 different "middle" segments, which I designed to be stitched seamlessly together regardless of how many or in which order they are used. Those get placed between the two "end" segments, the whole thing gets positioned at a random height - and like magic you are creating sidewalk platforms on the fly.

Throw in the different obstacles you see near the bottom at random and you have an on-rails side scrolling skateboard game. The character is in his standard pose below.
