Working on an animated clip for "The Life we're leading" by the band Tomahawk and the Moon Destroyers. This is one of the backgrounds. Don't worry, it won't be all grim and dark.
I'm doing this together with Inti, find his amazing works here

Drawing from my holliday in South of France. That guy from the previous post was there too.
