Looking for a ocean or water background.

Post by **sensei** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 7:48 am

My daughter loves a) cats, b) pirates, and c) anime. So for her birthday next month (don't tell her, anybody!) I bought her a cel of Mr. Cat from Maple Town in the middle of a furious sword fight and looking very piratical. I'd like to have it framed, and thought it would look good if there were a background behind it showing (ideally) an ocean landscape as it might be seen from the side of a boat.

Does anyone have FS (or know of) an appropriate production background that I could get for this cel?

I have one thats oversized that needs a home. I'll try to have it scanned for you tomorrow if you are still looking for one. Our main hard drive decided to go out earlier today and we just managed to get the PC running again tonight.

Maybe it would help all round if I posted the image (Liz, if you're looking, I'm keeping the cel!):

It's a close-up, so I don't need much in the background, just a horizon (I'm tempted to tilt it a bit out of horizontal) with water (waves?) on the bottom and sky on the top. (Rigging, sails, and/or a railing are all optional.)

Thanks, moonrabitt, for directing me to some YJ options. I'll keep checking the dealers and see if I see anything logical.

These may not be quite what you are looking for, but I can make a copy if you are interested.

I'm not able to get my scanner connected at the moment but I have taken 2 photos of a couple BGs I'm not using.
The first is oversized at 19"x14.5", the second is standard at 14"x10".

Thanks for all the help, both here and through PMs. RatherSilent and graymouser both deserve medals (if medals are ever to be given) for their generous offers of help. However, after looking carefully at the cel and at the choices, I decided to adopt one of Sugarflower's BGs.

I'll let you know what the reaction is on the other end, though my daughter is used to quirky presents, as well as carloads of groceries and paper goods to help her get settled in her new apartment.

MeeeeeeeYARRRRRR, me Maple-Town laddies!
