Many thanks.

Also if anyone else has any new backgrounds, please post them here so that people can review and vote before Brad decides what to put up.

Me like the top set most, but good all around.

Thankyou. The top ones are all ones I've made entirely with photoshop, the castle I used a photo of a castle and modified it as a practice, and the others were just photos I had lying around that I modified slightly. They weren't really supposed to be in sets, but if I make more they'll fit in with the top ones.

All good, but I really like the Castle and the pub ones, especially the one with Brad as bartender. I hope that one gets added, I've already got a series brewing in my head where Brad sells booze to the Asian Girls and gets arrested.

Think classy, you'll be classy.

Does the perspective look odd to anyone else in the top set? I'm just wondering what they would look like with our current set of characters in front of the backgrounds.

That said, I would definintely use them if they were added!

The kitchen perspective is a little wierd for our characters, I think. The rest will probably be okay.

I don't like the picture of Brad, or the name "Mick's Pub." I think those incidentals both limit what you can do with the background. (What if you're supposed to be at Cheers, for example? Or Applebees?)

Other than those points, I think the backgrounds are great.

I like the backgrounds. I like having as many backgrounds as possible to choose from. The Brad bartender needs to be smaller, though.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I sent Brad three backgrounds for possible use here at Stripcreator: a kitchen and two interior library scenes.

Here is the link where you can view them:

My comments are based on two things: art quality and need.

[list][*]Kitchen: We definitely need a kitchen. I'd love to see one with a refrigerator, with an image also available with the fridge door open. Similarly, a version of this one with something cooking could be nice.

[*]Living Room and Loungeroom: Not really needed -- doorshutint and bedroom and background2/3 already serve this purpose well. However, the painting in the living room makes this essential! Regardless of whether or not it's Brad's house.

[*]Pub: Not essential, but nice. One change I'd consider making: Have the bar extend straight across (as in the kaddar2 "news" images) so that the two characters can be right at the bar.

[*]Castle: I guess it would be good for medieval period comics, instead of relying on generic exterior backgrounds.

[*]Paddock: I personally don't see much use for it.

[*]Carpark: Not good as is. I'd much rather see it from a perspective of within the lot, rather than overlooking it from afar (is that from the roof of a building?)

I concur.

I like this suggestion. It would be even better if we could get a bartender character similar to the kaddar news images that fit seemlessly into the background.

I also disagree about it not being essential. Boorite's been drinking the same beer for four years. I'm sure he needs a new one by now.

Thankyou everyone for the feedback, I've responded to some of the posts below.

That being said some of the requested changes might take a little time, I don't have the internet on at home and I'm endeavouring to get this done between taking phone calls at work...

In response to Kaufman:

I'll see what I can whip up. It'll be a little lower on my list of priorities though.

I agree in many respects, but I've always wanted a little more variety- especially in a strip series where more than one house may be needed. I felt it was the sort of thing that is generic enough that it'll get plenty of use.

I will have a go at making a different version of this later.

This one was really just a practice at using paint...

Likewise. I had it there so I thought I'd put it up. It was just a photo I took from the window at work.

As with the Paddock I don't like it much. It was actually out of a window, I added the wall and railing so it would give the character somewhere to stand (It looked odd coming from an elevated view).

Biped:

That I can do, I used the available picture and in retrospect I should have made it smaller to begin with.

I added a staircase to the ones submitted.

The staircase looks great!

Alright, how is this one, perspective wise?

Good. Just needs my cat plopped on the chair.

And mayube wirthling's head mounted taxidermy-style on the wall.

And a big death ray! So whoever's in the picture can wipe out millions of innocent people at the touch of a button!

Thank you kindly. And I like the latest one you did. So what's with the two little Asian girl dolls on the table? Cute.
