Here is some fun exploration of combining pre-made backgrounds in Quake and art retouche.
Me and my friend are huge fans of F&H series, so we decided to make a small piece as a reminder of a one in-game fishing mechanic from an upcoming update that we helped to debug properly.
We are also a Sonic fans so naturally our first thought when confronted with any sort of fishing, was "Big!" with his own esoteric fishing game.
The background was composed and retouched by me with a guidance of my good friend, and she drew the characters. WE are still planning to finish it one day, but as of now we are quite busy with other stuff in our daily lives, but I still wanted to show what kinda of things are possible to pull off by combining premade 3D backgrounds with a handdrawn characters.
Oh wow, this got quite big (pun intended!)
Anyway, if you have any questions or comments feel free to drop some, I would love to hear all your thoughts and impressions! Keep in mind that's still WIP!

Apologies for abysmall colors, but color compression is a bitch and limit is just above 5mgb and I'm far too lazy to set up an external link... Can we do something about that?

Also here are some vids for broader context.
wow we have some pretty talented artists in our forum already, this is super cool... and I feel people are usually too worried about sharing wips, even when they look super cool like this so thank you!! you guys really got the vibe down well. I hope you guys can finish it soon! please show us the final product whenever its done :)
and regarding the compression... yeah it kinda sucks we have such a low file size limit, but we can't overfill our small server at the moment, we do hope that we can expand it in the future but that means more $$$$$ :'(((
I am loving this approach using pre-made backgrounds with your 2d art on top! Keep us posted on more stuff you make, you are very talented
I'm a huge fear and hunger fan so I love the fanwork by default!
