animation backgrounds

I went a little crazy coloring this one. Im trying out different things and some of it works and some does not. I think Im going to do this one again and try to keep it simple like the rough drawing.

animation backgrounds

these are two kind of different ideas I had, not sure if I like them and all. the roughs were really small drawings, only 4 inches by 3 inches. I like the grass a little. but Im not crazy about them yet. would love some input if anyone wants to drop me a line.

Here are some rough backgrounds that I did the other night. I haven't painted these yet but I've started painting some others in photoshop and I'll post them next along with the roughs for comparison.






thanks for looking :)

Giant Background

Last week I drew some characters that I like a lot So this weekend I have been trying to figure out where they live. I was hoping it would just come to me like a bolt of lightning but it hasn't. When something like this happens The only thing you can do is start drawing and see what happens. yesterday I sat down, pulled out a pencil and started to draw. Below are some progress photos of the location that I am working on. It is a work in progress and it keeps getting bigger. I keep adding more and more paper onto it. I really like it, but it doesn't fit the characters yet so I plan on continuing to draw and expanding on the layout until it feels right. This could go on for days... even weeks.
