Silhouette work and a bit of redesign

keep changing designs of the flailbunner, i think the surcoat + fur one goes better, also silhouette

(the image of the bottom shows the first design of the bud itself, the antlers/horns is absent cause i didnt think much of the first design, and mainly focused to be a bit more accurate to the ref image).

Thoughts n feedback?

1st: Pick a color that fits the theme of the drawing make spiky shapes around the character (+ style if the shape in question outside the character is dripping)

2nd: despite i dont do much of these but i some times utilize the clean version of the sketch as a BG thing

okay, thats smart. sometimes i just wing it and hope for the best. if the characters are grounded then i just add a simple shadow and do some random background pattern.

I usually tend to wing it. For me it can be hard to come up a proper background as I don't really plan things out very well.

Outside of throwing a color as the background I have few 'real' backgrounds in some pieces:

I planned to leave the background a solid pink color, but added some shapes which, to me, helped fill it out more.

I am unaware of how a nightclub functions let alone a cyberpunk themed one.

sometimes i can think of a background mid-draw when im on break. but most of the time i just wing it and it tends to work out in my favor.

Just kinda thinking out loud, but maybe we don't need to think too too hard for backgrounds because the main focus (atleast from what we've shown) is just characters/character design. Minimalist backgrounds can work just as well and be better than over-designing a background to the point where it overshadows the character.

If we need a detailed background for like a book/comic cover, I think what helps illustrating the setting is that there's already a narrative. If I was making a superhero cover what's the feel? If its heroic the city should be safe or they're saving a civilian, something uplifting. If the situation is dire than maybe there's debris and destruction behind them. I guess think of the backstory of the character you're working on and how you're trying to depict them in this moment, then help it along by making the setting match the mood. If we're just showcasing a character it may not matter as much.

I could also be wrong, but what y'all think?
