Thanks. I looked up old-fashioned houses and mansions and used them as models

There are some great backgrounds here. I feel like I've only gotten decent at drawing them towards the later half of my comic lol

Funnily enough, that particular background is substituting for them having a conversation in the fanfic , but the background for most of the comic is pretty much just grass (and maybe one tree) like this:

Backgrounds are truly my weakness Someday I hope to be able to make the pretty watercolor-style backgrounds (there's a bunch of them on this thread and I loooooove them!!) But until then I'll just be abusing my line-tool lol

(This is an abandoned motel)

Amazing stuff man!! Love the castle!

Just love the background in the link! So much detail!

What are you saying this is amazing the bgs!

Ok, I'll share one that's kinda cool and one I'm sick of. One of my main characters has a vivid flashback for on him of a previous adventure when he's transported to an alternative version of Seoul where he's just an average middle manger. He has his first encounter with the apartment that he's somehow how supposed to be living in.

The other one is a simple texture I created (using a old toothbrush and some ink (it was popular technique used by Klaus Janson) to imply a light gradient. It saves me time to just paste it in. It wouldn't be annoying but there are THREE WHOLE CHAPTERS where all the action happens under a streetlight near Alexandria Minnesota! Who wrote this sh*t?! oh it me. I wrote this sh*t.

wow!
amazing color!

Glofernwolfe 2025-02-15 23:25:21 UTC #30

Wow that building looks amazing!

It helps to bend the perspective a little bit.

Here's from the recent chapter.

Testing out my cg reference model for Ch03's new setting.

(Note that in the final product the background will be drawn over in 2D to match the characters. It will not look like this)

dayworks 2025-03-13 13:44:40 UTC #34

thanks. I wanted to give the building a ominous look in relationship to the character. I had to cheat the perspective a bit but the treeline hides the transition.

Maxouco 2025-03-13 13:50:37 UTC #35

I'm not really a background artist I do what I can!

I hate perspective so much

I just finished the inks for this bg and I loved the prozess so much. Drawing nature is different than buildings. That randomness is just amazing ^^ a shame, my charas are going back to the city now xD

Tursastheeternal 2025-03-30 17:57:55 UTC #37

I love drawing forests and landscapes. I hate drawing cities, but in my infinite wisdom I keep writing them in.

Glofernwolfe 2025-04-10 21:51:11 UTC #38

Nice, where are you getting your 3D assets from?

Glofernwolfe 2025-04-10 21:51:37 UTC #39

Dammmmmmn lovely!! I love black and white art

The_Chosen_Z 2025-04-10 21:53:39 UTC #40

It's complicated to say. I base myself on so many things that it's hard to remember.
