404 #2 - World Concept Art with Characters

I wanted to keep the background colours to be dark and for the antagonist to be able to blend right in. Keeping the antagonist as a leering creature in the background with dark colours and a regal pose helps establish a menacing tone and encourages the fear of the unknown in the audience.

I wanted the main character to have slightly brighter colours that draw the eye and distinguishes the protagonist from the environment but not so bright as to alienate her completely from the world. It's meant to be a way of the audience seeing themself in the protagonist, which helps create fear.
