it's not bad, i like it a lot. I should have filled you in more, however. If you've ever seen graphics for games like Legend of Mana or Saga Frontier 2, THAT"S more of the style needed. Also, maybe 'background' isn't an accurate enough term to describe the scenes. It's actually supposed to be areas that a 50x80 pixel sprite could walk around in. In other words, if you check the link I gave in the example back on my original message board, you'll see that a small character image could actually walk around in that area and look relatively natural. once again, this looks great, but it is the totally perspective. besides that, it would need to have line art defining everything. if the panoramas were simply color on color, i wouldn't need so much extra help. :)
