I suspect a number of Captain Planet villains were the result of someone having to draw one too many trees.
While I will never be 100% satisfied with my own backgrounds, in part because I could never make them excellent AND stick to anything resembling a schedule, I'm relatively happy with the preparation I've done for backgrounds in this scene. I think the only other time I'd been this prepared to draw an exterior setting from multiple angles was back when they had to face "Not Tengu", and... Hm.
Note to self: Diane and Charlotte attract difficult backgrounds (and possibly monsters).
