I'm so glad I started pushing myself to do some backgrounds and environments a few years ago. Feels great to improve at something I totally suck at. This scene is loosely based on the first dream I remember having. It was a reoccuring stress-dream when I was 8 about being stuck in a blob of black ooze inside a sewer grate under the sidewalk. Incidentally I only got into drawing as a method of therapy to get over the nightmares I had as a kid. It didn't work but now I can draw pretty well.
