Description
BACKGROUND ART for the World Ends With You contest~~I'm excited, the background category was very open-ended! And designing this place felt like doing art for a video game anyway, since it's constructed using 3D space.
(It breaks my heart I don't have any time at all to draw any characters, but it would break my heart more if I didn't even TRRY to submit something. ;A; )
The City was illustrated in Photoshop, and constructed in After Effects 3D.

thank you, that's the look I was hoping for!
Adobe Aftereffects is a special effects program, I mostly use it to composite animation projects, but this year we had a class for it that briefly went into using AE's z-space option, which just allows you to move flat planes, whether they're images or movie files, around as though they're in a 3-D environment (X, Y, and Z). Unfortunately, if you're not familiar with After Effects, I can't really tell you "how it works", 'cause I had four 3-hour classes on it an I'm still just getting the hang of it. ;(

It definitely feels like its straight out of a video game. I feel like you made the setting of Trigun into a 3D environment. Definitely has a Trigun/Cowboy Bebop feel.
All I can really say is wow O_O

Whoa! It does look awesome. I really love the color palette you used and how it has a slight 3D look to it. Good luck to you in the contest!

Well done!
I think you have good chances of getting a prize. 95% of the submissions look like crap, and I've only seen a few that are environments.
This looks like such a cool, mellow city.
