YES! After toiling away on this for *checks clock* ... wow, nearly 14 hours straight, this is complete!

In short, I wanted to try something new with the Doga software, something I hadn't tried before. What can I say? I like a challenge. Well, while browsing some of the Danny Phantom fanart to be had around here, I noticed many of these artists who can draw the characters really well often gripe that their backgrounds suck. Random brainwave smacked into idea for a challenge, and I set the goal before myself to try and render a cel-shaded "stage" or setting. Trying to recreate the background art style of the cartoon, but in 3-D.

For the record, cel-shading is a pain in the ass, and it's kinda difficult to build a solid 3-D rendition of a cartoon artstyle whose background details aren't hugely consistant between one episode and the next. I used a bunch of screenshots from Seemingly Unnoticeable as my reference material, without which, I would never have pulled it off.

ALSO! If there's any DP fanartist who would like to use a render of this thing for a picture background, don't hestitate to drop me a line. Just make sure to tell me the camera angle, what section of the hallway you'd like to use, etc. I can't draw worth crap, but damnit, I can render backgrounds!

This is only the first such "stage" of a planned several. I intend to revise this one some more and add more detail (the two hallways off the intersection are largely unfinished as of yet), and I plan to attempt other settings from the series.

Polygon count: 46,668
Total color/texture palette count: 28
