Just curious, are you taking inspiration from the original animated show and doing these on black canvas and doing the color from there? Because it looks like that. Props. Really dig this one!

Great question! I'm definitely inspired by the backgrounds of the animated series - that just kind of is stuck in me now lol

I've tried going a bit further back and seeing what inspired their designers, looking at Bruce McCall, German Expressionism, Hugh Ferriss, and then also tenebrist painters like Caravaggio and bizarre landscape paintings of Corot. As far as actually making my backgrounds, lately for some things I've actually started modelling them in 3d and then painting over to get something a bit more alive and not so computery and shitty haha

Thanks!

That's awesome. As I said, I'm a huge fan of the original animated series, and the fact that your art really emulates their style, sir, I take my hat off to you :)
