Just been mucking around abit with making cartoonish runescape guys, and I thought I'd also give a go at making a background for a sig.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just for the reason I'm horrible at backgrounds atm, so this was my first proper attempt at focusing more on that instead of the creatures within them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAGE (Didn't finish him off with legs and stuff because I think I wrecked the anatomy abit which I can easily fix up when I bother with it again, but yeah went onto making the background picture below instead)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMP DRAWING (Without wings :-$ )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND STUFF (WIP)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Took away a tree to make it single, looks better this way and more understandable.

with the shading on the tree theres light sections between the shades, and it makes no sence. also the shading is going the wrong way, the patten should go from top to bottom, not side to side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

another thing i noticed is the grass looks tiles, if it is, dont do that unless your making a mini rpg, if it isnt, try to avoid repetition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

despite only being 2 tone, the water looks rather nice in my opinion, good job =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that said, try and keep clear of two tone shading, use something more like 4 tones, and make sure they are all clear theres 4 tones on the tree yet it only looks like two at first because of the differenting contrast between the colours, the middle two have high contrast so you can see them better, while the outter two dont have much contrast to the one they be sitting in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when doing shaddows make sure they all go the same way, and perspective does have an effect of shadows as well :wink:

Thanks PJB21, yeah I did just pretty much copy and paste the grass after I made a small section of it, thought it didn't look to bad and saved me a bunch of time but ahh wells lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah my tree's aren't the prettiest things, and I realised that I've made shadows on either side once I'd already made the shadow on the ground as well, but atleast my rock looks nice atm, just gotta put in some flowers and stuff I think but they tend to be harder then I though :-k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the compliment on the water, the water edge is very dodge as well, but not sure how to fix that either, I'll wait for someone maybe to give me an idea but yeah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Oh I re-read what you said, and I think your saying it's only one tree. I was trying to make two tree's, reason being that I was at first thinking of a forest but yeah just wanted to take it easy for practising :?
