I was browsing through DA and was inspired to show some love and feature some art in my journal. I see a lot of character art and human subject matter here on DA, and they do well enough on here. But everyone gets so caught up in the "who", they tend to gloss over the "where".
We often forget about the environments that our characters are in. Even the work "background" sort of dismisses it as an afterthought. What a lot of artists don't realize is background can be used to create narrative and breathe life into their work. Often the environment can add as much character as and person can.
I've been kind of interested in environmental design lately, so I decided to feature some awesome pics that I found on here.
