Here's a sneaky peak an establishing shot from Fallen Star 2.

Backgrounds are not something I've historically been fond of creating but I'm learning to find enjoyment in their simplicity. This is mainly the reason I chose a snowy, frozen planet. I knew I could get away with minimalism. The planet nearly ended up being a sandy desert one, but I felt like I needed to step away from Dune aesthetics. Love Dune by the way. I think if I get bogged down on the fine details then I'm gonna struggle to move on. Luckily reusing some assets and BG's from the first short means I'm actually closing in on BG completion.

It's nearly time to move onto character animation roughs.

Stay tuned.
