I did promise to show my process of making backgrounds so here it is πββοΈβ¨
to start off--here's the line layer before I begin adding anything:
I still think this composition is a bit weird, but...eh π€·ββοΈ
next, I compile all of the references I've spent numerous hours foraging for:
these are all from basic google searches; for this piece, I looked for images relevant to the theme, so we have some vintage military manuals, illustrations, even a real army application form that I filled out in Johnny's name π sources for these can vary, but I've had good luck perusing ebay listings for a lot of these scans π
next, I kind of just...scatter them around the page, seeing what fits where, keeping the figures as the focus but letting the background fill out around them:
I then start adjusting them more, utilizing various overlay options (hard light/ pin light/ multiply/ color burn are usually my go-to ones in PS) it takes some fiddling to see what looks best:
then I add a few more personal additions for flavor β¨
next, I adjust the colors a bit:
then I adjust the colors even more, bringing out the electric blue and pink to make it pop
here's the full bg without the figures:
and here's the completed piece:
as you can see, I did add a few more elements in the end, as well as adjusting the colors further with the addition of the fully rendered figures πββοΈ
all in all--this is pretty much how I create all my backgrounds, like a fun little scrapbooking project~
silly viktor fanart :3
ghost page that i drew today :)
I finally finished the Soap card ! Not completely satisfied with the background but I'm gonna leave it as that or it'll end up being a WIP forever
