Environment Concept (Unreleased UE5 Project)

Environment concepts for an unreleased co-op UE5 project. Our goal was to achieve the painterly look of classic 80's-90's animation back grounds. Think Don Bluth's The Secret of Nimh! This more rendered background style allowed characters and interactable items to "pop" and be noticed to the player.
