Hey there.
This is a background I made when I joined the forum for the first time. It was made in November 2001. I was played demo of Hero6 and tried something similar. Would be funny to see the feedback I got on the old forums :)

I tried coloring on a sketch my friend draw once. Notice that I'm not going to use it in a game, just tried to color it.

The guy looks like either a psychologist or someoe on the edge. It's the body language. The background is good but too heavily shaded for my taste.
For the first time I like textures on a 2D scene!
