Working on the setup

After building up my characters and the the props of the backdrop I started to put the actual pieces into place and to see how the composition  worked with my characters and the painted scenery.

Initially I propped them up to get a idea with tape leaning the tree silhouette against the walls, before settling on positioning and glue gunning the walls together in attaching supports and pins for the trees. 

Even when the trees where fixed into place I still felt there could be more added to the environment so I hand painted on some card a grass like texture which I cut out and individually pinned into place where i felt there was need for foliage.
