Background Art Style

#1 Post by blackjag » Tue Feb 15, 2022 10:32 am

Hi.
I'm working on a few ideas for background art style.
But I'm wondering if the backgrounds can be distracting if they are too arty.
So, what are your thoughts on plain v artistic backgrounds in a visual novel?

Also, attached are examples of my current style preferences.
Comments welcome...
Thanks.

I've never seen a visual novel review that criticized the backgrounds for being distracting. Your backgrounds look good.
All of my VNs are at http://wolflore.net NOTE: Downloads are now working.
Some are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. NSFW
Poorly done hand-drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

Personally, I like the top one but feel like the other two is too much.

Yes, I like the 1st one best too. For its simplicity.
