I appreciate you guys! *thumbs up*

Well what I liked about the post is that it provides a great basis not only for designing backgrounds and artwork, but the organization and thought process that is helpful to projects as a whole (namely, like projects and visual novels). Your concluding paragraph is what really brought it together.

Also, at the time I was wondering about background art, the sketches and the processes that an art team would go through to make them, etc. and so it was quite helpful to see someone else record the process so elaborately because it was exactly what I was looking for. (It isn’t an art tutorial, but I found it helpful as a reference for the process.)

We are really blessed that everyone understands the group’s goals and can act fairly autonomously. This BG was a rare exception, but just this one time it was such a bad experience that we decided it wasn’t worth the risk of it ever happening again.

We work on several things at once. Our 2 hour weekly art meeting is a status meeting. We plan edits and come back with them the next week. So we didn’t spend 3 months working on this alone.

Did we help you out in some way? I’d like it if you could give us more information for future blog posts.
