Title: 3D Background fit with 2D foreground?

This is my cave entrance, with a very *boring* cement sarcophagus in the foreground.

Do the two elements work together?

I really hope so because my characters are 2D also

I think 2d characters may fit - somewhat - in a 3d bg world, but the sarcophagus doesn't IMO. Due mainly by the contrast in textures... If the textures of the 3d objects were more toony, or if the sarcophagus had a more elaborate texture it may work...

I like the image. The pespective is nice, sort of like looking out of a small opening in a mountian or something. You may want to rough out the edge of the opening maybe. Maybe add some texture to the (box?) as well. Other than that I like it.

It looks ok I guess. The "window" has no depth at all. It looks as if someone painted that on the wall. Your perspective on the table is off also. Where is the horzion line at? Get those things worked out and it will be fine.

coffin...

and when evil said "window" with quotes, he knew it wasnt really a window, but still a window doesnt have to be in the traditional sense, it could be used like "a window to another world" where no one really thinks of a kitchen window, but a gaping spiral hole to another dimension.

as far as the scene goes, I personally do not like it. in this case, i agree with ratracer, 2d chars or 3d chars on 3d backgrounds, but i wouldn't do half 2d/3d on backgrounds. at least, not this style
