i think that your job here is: Character designer AND Background Designe because your work i just awesome nd i don'T see why you should only draw Characters if yor Background look good as well.
I like the bockgrounds but not all of them must have only a lonely think to interact. I mean that in Toonstruck 1 almost every background had more tha one mission (wacme'a entrance with the clock, the cutopia's bar with the phone and the organ, the crossroads in the forest with the squirrel and the vegetable trapped), of course I'm referring to places bacause for the moment we don't have things to interact in the backgrounds.
So I think that we could try to join groups of buildings of diferent backgrounds (that had sense to be near) and draw them together in only one background, in order to look more like Toonstruck: a medium map with lots of thinks to do instead of a big map having to travel it all to find what you are looking for.
I hope you tink the same but has more merit draw new backgrounds and think new ideas that simply criticize what others have done, so gos you are the creator and you decide.
true, you should guys give me ideas, cus not every idea i have in my mind you may like , so you just give me ideas and i draw.
we are still in early stage,we still have few sketches that's why you shouldn't say this now. i mean the sketches are still few to judge. you can say this when i make much sketches that doesn't include these stuff.
ok but to get these connections and this amount of interactions into the backgrounds we need ideas so we need some guys to write some posts in the story section.
One idea for the train, the machinist could be a gorilla with the classical western train machinist clothes and cap. I can see him filling the boiler with coal.
