Backround mod

Hi!

Would anyone be interested in a background mod for more serious look? Don't get me wrong here, game really is seriously good as it is. Here's some quick sketches:

I used a bit of "painting" filters to make them blend better with existing art style. Here's one with some vignetting added for that nice 'oppressive' feel:

I don't know yet how to implement the characters (science, store and workshop) properly or should I just leave them out.

I tried adding them as portraits but it just doesn't look right:

Here's where I took my inspiration. Looked so cool on 386 :D:

I'm new to modding, will I go to hell if I just grab images from Google search? The pictures I used are actually stills from some TV show. I Hope it's not a show hated by everyone :) Suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Good idea! The first two pictures looks best of the bunch. IMO you should just try to find images with a character in a right position and forget the separate portrait window. Also, That 'oppressive fell' just doesn't work here. :P

I think too that the best option would be to find images with properly positioned characters. It will be a long journey in image search land. Could try copypasting characters:

What do you think, is he serious enough? Is the style correct? Not all need to be big faces of course.

I also discovered stock sites aren't really helping here:D:

Hue is easy to change so I could make multiple variations.

The stock photo background in post #6 was shouting "stock photo" to me, even before I have read your text above.

It looks so typically fake (three girls: red, black and blond hair....one for everyone...gnaaaa, artificial positions, staged "happiness"), I could puke.

The first images of post #1 are the best of thoses, though I like the drawn image currently in the game better. It fits to the art style of the game.
