Another Character and Backgrounds

Redid main character's roommate, and did all the backgrounds for the demo.  "Did the backgrounds" pretty much consists of outlining stock photos, and throwing a blur filter on them, as well as desaturating them.  I think I overdid it on the blur.  These will all be revisited later, perhaps!  Especially since the perspectives are entirely whacked!!!  Example:

Right now I have to focus on the toughest part of making this game: which is getting my character models cleaned up (effing arms & hands!), colored, and shaded.  I don't know if they'll have any expressions outside of their normal ones.  I really just want to get the first version of my game up and running.

I can't believe how much time I've been putting into this.  I dunno how many people out there want to play a non-Anime-style boy/boy visual novel.  So far there's just me.  :-D
