My Forests

I decided it would be best to create my own forest for the hound, I did this on photoshop which I realise now might not have been the best. Because once ive made it there's nothing I can do once it's in flash. But I just found it the easier option for what I wanted to do. 

I drew it out first, although automatically I felt like I made it too complicated. With too many branches, when all I really need is a dark area.

I started to texture it, the grass was going well. But it just felt too complicated with everything that was going on, I felt the next thing to do was to make it simpler.

I just turned it into a wall of trees, with there being noticeable distances between them all. I ended up going for this design. I wanted to go for the look much like in many old cartoons, where the background doesn't move and so it's pretty. And you can tell what objects are going to move by how different they look.
