@MerrowBros ooo thank you!! I've been jonesing for some epic scifi and it's been a while since I enjoyed a non-animated tv show this much.
Update for anyone interested in backgrounds that don't require drawing them yourself:
This still needs texturing and wall-painting work but if I'm honest my previous attempts at environments set the bar so low that a little blurring should make it good enough for this week. My biggest concern is that it will look a bit strange with the art on top but I'm hoping with strategic blur and added lines on top of near objects it's got to be an improvement...
Plus I don't have to draw anything besides characters [maniacal laughter].
