VCD: Blythe Background (Color concepts)

Colour Concepts.

I know that I wanted the room to be dark no matter what color scheme I go with, it wouldn't take away from Blythe and would still look spooky. I decided it would be better to start off with mainly warmer colors just till Blythe transforms, because it won't alter her warm character and look. Also I think it's easier to alter the background to go from warm to cold.
I also played with the saturation of both ideas. Would a saturation bring more attention to Blythe? Make it more dramatic? Probably not. It would probably put a emphasis on the candle and stove fire when I add it. But I don't think saturation will be very effective, especially since the room will be fairly dark anyway.








Here I've started the line art for my final copy. I've added some branches on the walls just to add to the creepy look. I also took out the far table, I just thought it was too much stuff and I don't want the candles in the foreground to blend into it or make it look over crowded.
















I've started out with the base colors. There not too important I think,  because it will be covered in looks of similar colors and shading and lighting. But it's always a good backup to have base colors on a separate layer.

I've used warm colors, and bit of grey to give it a old worn down look. I want to to look dirty and unkempt, like a creepy abandoned witch house.

The box is the brightest because it needs the most attention out of the background. It maybe seem a bit too bright now, but it will be lit up by the light of the candles.
