Group Info

We're a group for artists that believe great art doesn't require a background. So if you, like us, create deviations that have gradient, transparent, abstract, or even just plain white backgrounds, then this is the group for you!

We accept deviations of all skill levels, but require only one thing: it can't have a complex background.

So remember, no background? No problem!

Because great art doesn't always require a background.

Do you not want to draw a background because of whatever the reason sometimes?

Have you ever had a deviation turned down by a group because it "didn't have a background" or had "too simple of a background"?

Do you simply not like drawing backgrounds?

Then LazyBackgrounds is the place for you!

What we're about is simple, really. We're a group for artists of all skill levels that share one thing in common: Simple Backgrounds.

Thank you!

Background Artists [OPEN]Hello!I am looking for women artists for a manga that I plan to publish once it's complete.I need back grounds to be made. Story board artist is preferred. The backgrounds will consist of standard rocks and trees. Some buildings will be needed. Paneling might be needed. I like to keep the artistic freedom available for artists. What I expect is to have black and white backgrounds. No color. No characters added. The format that is sent to me needs to be in a downloadable link or original so I may use the desired background as I see fit.Thank you!

_{Sometimes simple backgrounds are better. They make the character stand out, especially if it's a more detailed character (and then a complex character may make the foreground look busy). Thank you so much for making this group!}
