2D Background project

2D Background final design 

This is my final design for my 2D background project as you can see in my image is it much more of a pond than a lake however I really live the way the flows and think that it works really in my design.

As you can see on the left I have included my tree with my bike on it and I still want this to be the pink blossom tree that I had done some directly observed studies of a few weeks ago. I have also included a dog behind the tree looking at the pond, this is in memory of my golden retriever poppy, I am hoping to animated the tail wagging and maybe a tongue poking out of the mouth. In my final 2D background I am hoping that I can just do a simple pan from right to left, however I may add a zoom into it to make it a bit more interesting. I have also decided to get rid of the ground details that are in front of the mountains because I think that the nature around the lake is a bit to much compared to the simple mountains in the background. My background is cut into 4 layers I have the long grass at the front of the screen in layer 1 then the first half of the lake and the tree in layer 2, I then put the second half of the lake in layer 3 and finally put the mountains and sky into the fourth and final layer.
