Here are some images from my new background art asset pack, available on itch.io! https://caitsidhe.itch.io/times-of-day-in-wilderness-background-art-pack 

Here's a video of all the image layers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20HjQhPgfuI

I'm posting this to the Unity Asset Store as well, but it seems it's a month out from being reviewed for approval. I guess they've got a lot to do, and not enough people to do it all.

I'm not an amazing watercolorist, but I hope you enjoy a laid-back cat watering her plants!

Based on the lovely DTIYS art by takikamiart over on instagram. I had a lot of fun with this! Original: https://instagram.com/p/CgR6UcoDW9d/

I really liked @seasidheart's original and wanted to draw a foggy-looking version. I didn't realize the DTIYS challenge was from last year... Always late to the party! XD

Plus some bonus practice sketches

Will Magical Starlight Anya catch them all?! Nah, I'm pretty sure she's going to get expelled first...

What if Nepheli Loux were the one who saved Roderika from the Stormhill Shack?

A magical little cat shows up to light the way!

I used to hate using watercolor, but I think I’m getting better at it.

Supposedly the Star can represent either bright prospects or abandonment. I was the victim in a minor car accident last year. At the time I kept flip-flopping between feeling sorry for myself and feeling grateful that it wasn’t any worse. I guess that’s the Star for you – maybe it’s not what happens so much as how you react to it.

I've ridden horses a handful of times. I wasn't good at it and I didn't enjoy it and I don't recommend that you put your naked child on top of any horse, no matter how tame. Also, sunscreen!

Some cliffs along a river for a dramatic early-morning scene. I tried starting with a photo manipulation for this one. The process was different for me and uncomfortable at first. I felt like I was ruining the photos by painting over them! It ended up with a more realistic color palette than I usually use, for better or worse.

Here’s a clean-up of an older sketch from last May.  It’s now part of a background art bundle, available on the Unity Asset Store, Itch.io and Cubebrush!
