(I know there may have been a thread like this before.) I'm working on one of my backdrops at the moment...What I'm trying to achieve is a look that the scenery goes on and on as far as the eye can see. I've got the sky painted. That looks good. I've got the clouds painted using Gavin Miller's technique, which by the way is absolutely awesome. Now comes the difficult part...
The part of the backdrop I'm working on is an industrial type yard scene. I want photos and pics of industrial buildings, warehouses etc. that I can fit together like a jigsaw and glue directly on the backdrop. Then add some flats that will blend in with the 3-D scenery in front. The yard area stretches approx. 12'.
I thought about using some of the printed commercial backdrops which are OK but to me look too "fake", not to mention that they are featured on so many peoples layouts that I want to be more unique. I've started a folder of pictures that I've cut out of magazines and old calendars but I need a whole lot more! Is there any other source that anyone can think of that would provide me with a TON of pics? I've searched the web quite a bit, but really haven't come up with too much.
Thanks in advance!!
