[quote]The kitchen background is out of scale. The trick with background is to remember that people are only half as tall as the frame, so anything like a table or a kitchen benchtop has to be waist-high or so to the characters, and therefore only in the bottom quarter of the background image.
Sucks, I know, especially since background based on photos are never taken at that kind of scale.[/quote]
Dude. Look up "kitchen", "my kitchen", "new kitchen", "our kitchen", "the kitchen", etc on Google and find me a better photo. Because there aren't. That's the best I could find with a decent looking stove. I agree, this background is wrong and crappy. But we need a kitchen background and nobody else is making one, except Choad. And he's going real, real slow. I just figured this would be something that would work until someone managed to make an actual good one.
