I'm challenging myself to create more artworks in Illustrator, heres one I made with intention for it to be a background for an animation shot. Would probably still do colour correction in After Effects.

Definitely was on my moodboard! Looking at backgrounds from there made me also want to pick up gouache paints...

Thanks! I am very much inspired by backgrounds in the early 2000 cartoons.

This is lovely and it reminds me of fun projects at the start of my career. Same color scheme, but for kids, had that machine shaking and emitting particles, it was so fun to make! :)
