The adventures in changing how I do backgrounds continues!

"There's nothing but a 3D model there YOU HAAAAACK!!!!" you say!

Well, yeah. Right now that's all that's there.

Being the great employee that I am, I spent a chunk of time at work talking to Cooper about backgrounds, and one method he suggested I try doing is the "lasso" method of drawing. Basically this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peLlGOSm4Iw

My hope is that A: it'll make the backgrounds cleaner looking, and B: help the characters pop out more from the background. There's a lot of times where I outline the background and things become a confusing mess in terms of lines. A good example would be the railing at Kevin's apartment in older pages. Frankly, it looks like shit. Now, if I were to instead draw it without any sort of outline, it will (in theory) look more appeasing to look at.

Expect it early tomorrow morning after I wake up from my nap after work.

The video was very interesting. A great use of the loop tool. And Photoshop is hax. =P

The new background method works but it's a little jarring that the characters have the heavy black lines while the background items lack it.
