Another
thing that I've done with the backgrounds is I've used some effects
from Photoshop to make them look more like art than like photos. At
first, I went for the photo-realistic look, adding the anime-style
character art over the top of it. After sharing this with a number of
people for their opinions, they liked my altered backgrounds better
than the photo-realistic versions, because everyone felt that it made
the characters “pop” more and at the same time felt there wasn't
as much of an artistic contrast. As a result, I've been taking my
photorealistic backgrounds and shading them into a more painted look,
which has honestly helped me a lot because I don't have to go into
every little detail now to blend it and make it look realistic—the
effect washes that out a little. I've been able to layer different
photos and my own artwork better by bringing everything into a more
digitally-painted, rougher look. The scenes have been turning out
great, and I'm very excited to start putting the audio and character
art on top of the backgrounds, synchronizing it all to tell this fun
little action story.
