Here's a collection of environment pieces I've done throughout 2020 to 2022. They still have some of the roughness inherent to my earlier art, but I still like what I accomplished with them.

The first two were colored sketches, and both were products of me experimenting a bit with Firealpaca's tools. The first one I don't have too much to say about, aside from it being wonky and the clouds looking more like smoke. The second one has this almost dreamlike quality that I wish to recapture with my newfound knowledge someday.

The character in the third image is Floyd Maddox, another OC like Matrona who came from that old, scrapped story project. Unlike Matrona, I had the foresight to scrap Maddox earlier when I realized he wasn't going to work out.

While not one-to-one, the bridge and mountain pieces borrowed their palettes from PS1 Spyro levels--Spooky Swamp and Skelos Badlands, respectively. The latter piece holds up the best in my opinion, as it showcases a better understanding of atmospheric perspective, and I intend to reuse the method I used to set it up again in future pieces.

I'm not sure what direction I was going for with the alleyway piece; maybe I was going for that aforementioned dreamlike vibe in the second image. But the last image, depicting a supertanker at sunset, is probably the best of the bunch. Even though I wasn't trying too hard, I like how I accomplished this by making some brush strokes, duplicating the layers they were on, and playing around with the transparency of each copy. I tried this method again with the cloud piece--my last background like this for some time. I wonder how something these would look now that I've gotten over my fear of anti-aliasing.

We're starting to approach some of my most recent work now, and for that, I'll eventually start uploading pieces individually, as I have significantly more to say about my single pieces during late 2022 than I do about most that came before.
