Description Just a technical exercise in rendering KP-style backgrounds, I wanted to try exporting between Illustrator and Photoshop and back again for the cloud effect as Illustrator (to my knowledge) doesn't have a really good "splatter" tool as well as Illustrator's airbrush.

However, if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know, I'm still learning. And I think I was able to fix my upload problem by not enabling an equivalent .pdf file when saving...

If you listen carefully, you can hear "Shego!" in the distance

Typical Drakken lair. Why doesn't he just put up a sign reading, "Here I am, come and attack me!"

you could actualy get away with alot of small details going un-noticed in this style of art... i.e. shading, clouds, unfinished lines and all kinds of stuff

I think I can hear an argument:

Drakken: Shego, get the phone!
Shego: Get it yourself!
Drakken: I'm busy with my doomsday machine here.
Shego: Yeah, well, the phone's right next to you.
Drakken: *growls* What do I pay you for, anyway?
Shego: To clean up after all your failed plans.
Drakken: Fine, I'll get it.
Shego: *sighs* Why is it that we have thousands of doomsday machines and no answering machine?

I love the landscape, so I'll FAVE it.

Looks even better than the show, slick work with this one SFToon, great work!

If you listen even harder you can also hear Drakken screaming from ticking off Shego, lol.

Later,

hermit-homeboy [2006-12-22 03:58:50 +0000 UTC]

For an exercise, this is pretty spot on

I suck at backgrounds and I've been practicing the KP style myself but I can't get textures right

Q: How did you get that texture on the mountains?

Nice love the drawing ^_^. As for the cloud it looks good ,maybe this could be your tared mark. I have a hard time drawing background so probably I'm not the right guy commenting on your grate background drawings. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way u_u, I really admire your works ^_^.
