I tried doing some more traditional inspired tests for the BG's, as I liked the roughness of the previous ones but thought they were a bit too digital.
Firstly, I coloured the branch traditionally using pastels to get more physical texture and that traditional feel. I scanned that in and combined it with a blurred and textured photograph:
The next test I did was scanning a pencil version in and then colouring it in digitally, using a pseudo watercolour brush to recreate the feel of a traditional watercolour painting:
These are both quick tests therefore will look more polished if they were to be full BG's. I found that the pastel version doesn't really work - the scan of it makes it seem too realistic and photo like rather than the soft traditional look I was aiming for.
The digital watercolour version on the other hand was much more successful, and I really like the direction that's going in. I think the colours of the branch especially need changing, and obviously need to neaten up the image as a whole, but I think that this style fits the idea of the film in my mind.
I want to create a vertical slice for the film, and I think I'll use this style for the BG for it to see if it does actually work or not.
