I've been really enjoying creating props for potential backgrounds. I've been trying to manage the projects and get on with my dissertation so I definitely haven't been able to spend as much time on the design side of things as I'd have liked to. But having said that, I am trying to put aside a little time each week to keep up the practice and stay involved in the visual progress.

Time to think about art style

As well as 'Jinx's Night Out', whilst I was home visiting my younger brother, I noticed him watching a the new 2D 'Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs' on Cartoon Network. I noticed the backgrounds were textured in a similar way to what we'd been discussing which I thought would be useful to reference when texturing our own backgrounds.

My first attempt at some more stylised props took me so long to produce. I have never really worked without outlines so I had to really play around with using difference tones of the same colour to produce the contours needed to create the props. Whilst I didn't find it easy, I found it extremely rewarding when I finally finished a small sheet of props and hope to develop this further in creating more prop designs and eventually adding them to background tests!
