Backgrounds and Assets done by me
I don’t usually do my backgrounds which is why I asked for assistance when creating mine in a lot of my recent project work. However, since my current background artist is not entirely free to finish the backgrounds set I decided to attempt one of them mainly to see what I could manage myself. I did not expect this outcome where I have an actually viable background that is dynamic but also in a very difficult angle as well.
Overall this was a good experience for me. This shows I can do my own backgrounds and that fear before of not being able to attempt difficult angles has disappeared now.
This is a good skill to have and one I want to work on in the future. I may not be doing all my own backgrounds but being able to create more in depth guidelines for my background artists will help them immensely when recreating my vision in the right style.
Although these backgrounds are very beautiful there is a lot of room for improvement. Such as more colour variations in the ground and in the sky since the sky looks very one dimensional and so does the floor. Some impacts on the ground will help too with showing more dimensions than just one smooth surface.
(If you see the blue boxes it is because I have to use a lower quality photo for myblog but the lower quality photo condenses all the overlays I added in the file into a blue box on lower qualities not sure how to fix this yet)
