Tonight you can help me with something. If you want.

I was trying to design a Broken Sword 3 DVD sized game cover to enter this competition. I found a cool picture of York Minster, a few screen captures of the main characters (George and Nico), one "Sleeping Dragon" logo with words and one without, and I messed around with layers and paint effects and smudge tools and magnetic selection things for ages. I came up with the following design, which I quite like, but it might be rubbish. I don't know.

The problem is, if it's not competely rubbish, I now have a "brightened" version and a spookier "tinted" version. They're both quite dark, but I can't do anything about that. And it's kind of atmospheric. But which one is better? Feel free to leave comments. About which one's better. And whether either are any good. :)
