Backgrounds for opening scenes.

It's been a while since doing a blog entry however, I have been working on completing the backgrounds for the first few shots of my animation. Having selected the colour purple as the main colour to emphasise the mysterious and mystical nature of the Magician's magic shop, I played around with the thought of just having the outside colorised in a grey scale. I opted against this once I realised that the brightness of the boy was too obvious against this grey pallet and settled on having a shade of colour that complimented the colour purple to use for the other shops.
