Backgrounds of 'Dust: An Elysian Tail'

As research for the 2D environment project, I have been looking at various background designs throughout animated films and games. Due to its vibrancy, my favourite style so far was created by Dean Dodrill in the indie game 'Dust: An Elysian Tail'. With the exception of voice acting and writing, Dean created the game almost entirely alone, from the hand-painted backgrounds to programming.
