WIP - Lineless Trees (Patreon)

Something I'm working on for a commission. I've been trying to work more on backgrounds lately, and have been experimenting with a few different ways to render them in a way that fits with my personal style. Mainly I've focused on a simple lineless look here, making environments out of solid-colored silhouettes, with slight color variations to create detail as well as gradient overlays for lighting- in the second pic you'll notice I added a warm sunny light over the tree here.

This is a style largely inspired by games like Night in the Woods, Little Nightmares, Limbo, and Inside. I always liked how they could make backgrounds look huge and detailed with just a few silhouettes and gradients.
