well i guess the best thing you can do is get a bunch of backgrounds from sam and max and then just study them, see what you like about them

i looked at the picture you posted in the other thread and it's good, what you want is style now not technique. you know how to work photoshop or whatever you use it seems, just study the backgrounds and i think you'll be able to figure it out

Most people who want to go for S&M (!) or DOTT -style backgrounds seem to do a weird perspective with random lines pointing whereever and think that that's it. That's where studying the references becomes essential. Drawing DOTT style is just as much following strict rules as drawing Indy FOA style. It's  warped but it's anything but random.

For tutorials, anything that tells how to draw correctly in perspective would be a good start. 3-point, close vanishing points gives a nice warped result.
