Professor Layton and the Curious Village ROUGH (Patreon)

Got to admit with this demake I was extremely worried and excited to do more background art. There's truly something quite dauntingly appealing about detailed backgrounds with foreground characters. Something about how you handle each subsequent layer, the types of line colour, how you choose to make one thing a silhouette or maybe it has some outline and shading. 

And most fun is just anachronistically changing things because you're a big stickler for feel, Layton's sprite in the original game is front facing even during dialogue exchanges with townsfolks and it was....inside you are two wolves scenario.
The one is saying "stick to tha original mannnn" and the other is "oh ho, this is your chance to update the initial entry into the series to better fit in line with the subsequent games, take it, the shot, take your chance, go on, do it, do it, do it" 

Maybe that's just me though. Either way, had a lot of fun cramming the backgrounds down to GB size and battling that tile limit as always!
