Background Paintings and Stuff (Patreon)

If you haven't noticed yet I've been having a pretty difficult time finding skilled artists to help out with the game (mostly because both the adult content and specific stylized look limit the candidates pool pretty severely). I figured however that I should be able to find a background painter... someone able to do some anime-esque cityscapes and what not... but nope! So, since it's something I've been wanting to learn to do anyways, I went ahead and tried my hand at a matte painting in a similar technique I've been successful with for the battle backgrounds (combining stylized 3D renders with digital painting). The trick to these kinds of backgrounds is incorporating photograph elements as well and blending it all. This test wasn't necessarily going to be used as an environment for the game (though, looking at it now, it possibly could be), but was meant more for practice. I figured I'd share it with you guys though since I'm pretty happy with how it came out, and think that I now have the confidence to try some similar stuff for the game.
