Inspiration

Nature is an inspiration for the artwork for Raccoon Mastermind.  I began my search for backgrounds by looking directly at nature and photographs.  I began with attempting to design square to fit into 64 x 64 PX square.  I painted the page on the left with 3" squares.  The squares were to large and the image was to detailed.  I dropped the size to 1" and re-designed the squares to fit like a puzzle. 

 

I also designed lettering for the game in 8 1/2" x 11" and changed the color to give a different mood.

 

I choose a forest with the sunlight shining through to give a light mood..  The tree in the front is to give an ominous feel.  I added Rocky raccoon and a human running behind the tree.
