Latest batch of work on the Hive!

Just like last week, I divided the work between sketching a background and refining Vaabs' pictures.

I started working on the park. I intend to make it a spacious area, so there will probably be three total areas for you to explore. I'm not satisfied with the background in the picture; instead of the wall and some distant forest, I'll likely replace these elements with a closer view of trees surrounding the park. This should convey the feeling that the park is larger than currently shown.

I also created a map of the Hive. Currently, it's a work in progress and will likely be used in the game as it is until a better version is available.

Some locations are still uncertain. The petting zoo might be unnecessary. I'm also considering adding a small cinema, which could be fun, but I'm not sure how much it would be used and in what circumstances.

Finally, the latest series of sketches from Vaabs is complete and colored. It was incredibly enjoyable working on these, and we should collaborate again for another series in the near future!

And that's it for today!

Next week, it will be time to line and color some backgrounds!
