Show off the scenery in your comic!

[raelcsART]

I dont mind scenery so long as its nature, im really good at greenery, mountains, rocks, oceans sky all that jazz. but as soon as we get into building lord have mercy on my soul. i even learn architecture (until i found out it wanst my thing cough) The last two pages are apart of my comic Starlit, but its not posted since its a holiday special.

forest!! = O

indoors / plaza inside a city = x

Opportunities is mostly set in a big fancy hotel but we haven't had a lot of chance to really show it off just yet. There's some more really cool scenery coming. Here's what we've got so far.

This one I'm most pleased with. Even with using a source to trace an outline from for perspective etc, it still took many hours!

Loving this thread! Some really good posts here with a variety of imagery

I was actually inspired to create my current comic, Alternate Character, while I was drawing some video game landscape art. Since I'm imagining an MMORPG for the comic, scenery is a very important part of it. It's the most time-consuming aspect of my comic-making, but I love doing it <3

Oh, the scenery in my comic, Me and My Friend, was my favorite part. Then again, it was all mainly trees, sooo....

Here's a scene I made that takes place in a field of wheat. I'm really happy how it turned out. The comic is King of Israel: https://tapastic.com/series/King-of-Israel

I also posted this in another thread as it is the latest page I have done:

It's a combination of Soviet Modernism and Brutalism. :3c

[tomatobird]

Wow! I love the perspective on this!! And Soviet Brutalism/Modernism (were you thinking of constructivism as well??) is one of my favorite aesthetics and it looks really great here. I've been thinking of incorporating it into another story of mine, even though doing perspective is such a chore even WITH the perspective tool, haha. Great job and thanks for sharing!!!

A simple day-to-night exterior scene from my comic Agapetos that I was really happy with. The linework gave me trouble but I'm happy with how the lighting and texture turned out!

[Symphorians]

Wow! I'm so impressed by the variety of backgrounds in this thread.
Here's a night time jungle waterfall from Symphorians

And a beach scene that I thought turned out okay.

I have begun using some 3D tools to work on back grounds, but before I had that brainwave I worked on this piece from scratch. It's from an upcoming page in the current issue of HOTWAB

I did this city scene from scratch too for an Entervoid character, (bigger pic's here) but yeah it's 3D tools from now on. Backgrounds suck, but they're a necessary evil

Some drawings of Stainless City from CAPEFALL.

Ah yes, there is some constructivism going on as well but it's not as apparent in this. It gets more visible in the exteriors. I wanted to create something with the least "human" look possible yet at the same time make something that we could relate to (since it's been an established style).

It's not that hard to do since it's very straightforward unlike Art Nouveau and Victorian.

Everything here is amazing- I'm so stunned by how much effort you guys put into your compositions.

Here are some from West.

[fabian5613]

I suffer a lot doing backgrounds usually y try to avoid them but sometimes they don't suck so much so here are some of Psique that I didn't hate =D

I hope you like it, if you do come and say hi, don't be shy =D

[El_Psy_Congroo]

This is cool! I love how well you've chosen the colors. I'm curbing my envy right now haha

I like doing scenery every now and again. Gives me a chance to introduce weird bits of the world we never explore directly in the story. www.shedwarf.com
