Backgrounds!

Here is my first set of backgrounds. I've got the hill, and a sidewalk.


I tried adding a gradient to the hill. Hopefully, it doesn't look too flat.



Also, the textures I used were all from this website: http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/texture_colour/

Hi Lauren-

I like the textures. The perspective seems a bit off. The yellow lines don't seem to match the sidewalk lines. Perhaps if the lines on the sidewalk were going in the other direction?

I love the fantastic look of the hill. The trees blend in a little with the background. Perhaps you could darken the grass?

Good work!

Though I know the distorted perspective is intentional, Sheila has a point in that it may cause too great a disconnect to have characters skating down that street when everything is so wonky.

There is a line to, well, skate here. You want things to be striking and graphic, but they also need to be able to convey the space and geography of your action.

And you have a lot of action. Good action, too. So just remember: all the best action sequences let you know where you are, and what is happening.
