Background designs can be very technical but can allow lots of creative freedom. Besides designing characters at DietVille, backgrounds were something that I've always looked forward to working on. I love meticulous work, that's why I enjoy working on backgrounds, because there's a lot to consider. How things fit in together, like color and texture. What creates the mood and the characteristics of the space. All these things and more help unify and bring to life a particular space.
When I started working on backgrounds for DietVille, there was already a set background in place. Fellow coworker, Adam Parkes, created the 3D backgrounds to establish the space in the game. My job was to illustrate the space by giving it the characteristics of the given subject, such as 'Seasonal Store'. As shown above, here's just a couple of backgrounds that I'm proud of that showcases the artistic freedom I was given.
