2D Animation Backgrounds

I finished with the shading and coloring of one of my backgrounds, and I decided to go with a fixed width lineart. I've done the shading and lighting with multiply and hard light layers, and made sure to split the image into the foreground and background.

As well as the office shot, I also created the hallway shot where Deedee waits to leave her office job. I used the same colour pallet of dull greys and yellow to give the office a more professional and kind of gloomy feeling, which will be contrasted by the dream world that Deedee will have to fight in, as well as her home which will be shown with warmer and brighter colours.

For the entrance to Deedees house I wanted to make sure the lineart style stayed similar to the office, but I changed the lighting and colour to look more inviting and warm for Deedee to come back to. I also wanted to make the space lived in, so I made sure to make the room look lived in and used.

Next I'm planning to finish the other office shots and the dreamworld, which I want to give a magical outdoorsy feel. Because I have quite a few backgrounds I want to get most of them done before I move onto the animation process.
