Scenery Art for Formative Assessment

I don't know how to digital paint or anything like that so it's a bit rough.

Scenery Research

I was looking into a rocky landscapes which I think suits my colour scheme really well.
I really like the rocks stacked on top of each other and pointy mountains.

Colour Palatte Research

 I want to have a more natural environment colouring but I am definitely open to adding in bolder colours if I feel it benefits the animation more. My character is a warm blue so I want to make sure that the environment coluring compliments his. 

Environment colouring next to my characters texture to compare

 This is an example of environment I used before. I really like the colours together and I think they could tie in nicely with my character. I especially love the greeny yellows as the background fades out. 

Environment photo next to my characters texture to compare

This is a photo example of environment I'm interested in. These colours are very rich and blend in nicely with my character's texture and colouring. I'd want to avoid having my character against this blue sky as it is too similar.

I am leaning towards the last colour palate because it is brighter and bolder. This colour palate also relates more to the fun more playful side of my story. 

Environment Inspiration

Ideally I'd like to have this styled matte painting for my animation but I don't really know how to digitally paint so I know that won't happen. I want the matte paintings to have one colour theme to it. I like more detail in the front while it fades out as it goes back. 

Research: African Landscapes

This isn't an African landscape but I really want to have something like it in the background.
