This took so long to do because I had to do three backgrounds… I tried various techniques including a new coloring process to make things go faster, but in the end the background are the killer. They’re so difficult to, I completely messed up the scale of everything.

I’ve been looking into Sketchup, Acon3D and Snaptoon but the models get kinda expensive. I could use cheaper/free models and arrange the settings itself but it’s kinda pointless if I’m going to be spending hours finding assets and setting them up… Speaking of the backgrounds, I ended up blurring them because everything was feeling too busy so here they are below.

On the topic of the new coloring process, I’m still not 100% sure how I feel about it yet so we’ll see if it sticks. Kinda feels overworked and cluttered, with the background coloring completely blown out… Maybe I just need to play with it a bit more. I’m really bad with the add glow and glow dodge layers. Everyone always uses them well but when I do they always look overdone and blown out.
