Here are some backgrounds I drew ages ago in Adobe Flash. I'm still happy with and proud of this work. For Scigirls in particular, I was tasked with coming up with the overall style for the show's backgrounds and was asked to use collage-like textures and elements to create the look. I especially enjoyed working on SciGirls, and I think it shows in the finished backgrounds. 

 

A lot of the items in SciGirls were from my own little Cambridge apartment from that time. In the close up of the basement couch, the red pillow used to be my Great Aunt Violet's, the greenish pillow was a hat I knit, and the other two pillows were a sweater my Great Grandma Dorothy knit. The blanket on the back of the couch was actually a rug my Grandmother gave me, and it used to be on the floor in her sunroom up in New Hampshire. I remember eating breakfast on that rug when I was a kid! The ribbed glass lamp in the bedroom background was modeled after a lamp my mom gave me when I moved into my first apartment and had no stuff. I still have it today. My mom used to keep little Maine pinecones in it when I was little. Even though I have different things in it now, I still call it the Pinecone Lamp.

Bonus points to anyone who can find my Nana's ceramic Christmas tree hidden in the SciGirls backgrounds.
