Sanctum Back Alley Background

Lots of steps involved in this one, but I'm pretty proud of it, despite its (many) flaws.

Started with a render out from Sketchup (at apparently near the max resolution) in line mode. Took that, then started painting over it in Photoshop.

Still a few things I'd change (like getting some of the textures and colors right; the brick had a version I'd done in sketchup, while the trash bin is supposed to be blue with a grey top), but I ran out of time. This is part of my graduating piece, which will be a poster of my main characters, with this scene, plus a scattering of characters inside of it.

Eventually, I want to be able to have my backgrounds be a 3D rendered piece that looks hand-painted like this. (this would allow camera moves and such.)
