the question is; are there any templates or software with pre-made backgrounds that you could mix and match?

Along the same lines as Cel it would be much easier and obviously original if you were to do the bg's yourself as well. Of course if you're just interested in character animations then you could forget the background; For reference you could looks at sketch/storyboard styles from BahiJD and other animators.

thanks for the suggestion. I will look at his sketch styles. I've been trying to get inspiration everywhere and anywhere, pretty overwhelming when you have to do everything but hey.

Thanks, yeah I was looking like crazy for something, ended up in reallusion website but decided to do it myself.

I knew it was going to be difficult to find something i would like but I guess I thought it wouldn't hurt asking. I've been to forums were I found some cool suggestions for software.

Hi, New to the forum, actually New Member of NEWGROUNDS, I have been looking endlessly for an easy way and i know this might be the reason for my failure, I know there are topics on software, I use photoshop, tried other similar ones also but feel more confident with Photoshop since I have used it for so long.

Now to the point, I am trying to do animations on my own which mean, backgrounds, character, story, etc.

for example, mountains for snow, desert, islands, etc, trees for different environments you you can mix and match.

English is my second language, while I think I can communicate myself pretty well I know I may have malformed questions or run on sentences, I apologize about that and thanks for your help.
