Backgrounds

I am trying something different for some of the backgrounds in the series. Since my figures are inked pretty tight, I decided to loosen up on the backgrounds that are not establishing shots and hopefully create a nice contrast in the artwork...sometimes it works...sometimes it does not.

I think they're really excellent. Not just the wash backgrounds, but the foreground drawings and compositions. Very nice!; 11:48 AM

it works so well. over-rendering BGs can clutter and flatten a drawing. this looks very dynamic, and much more organic. a nice blend of very clean and concise line art with the abstracted, washed-out BGs. nice, nice, nice.; 8:06 AM
