My duties were to illustrate concepts for the navigational screens of the game, which were then handed to digital painters who would paint off my sketches and make it look more polished.
For each background I had to keep in close communication with the producer and game designer to accommodate all the game play elements into each background, while at the same time make each background look unique and interesting.
Before doing a more refined sketch, I had to do 5 "variations" for each background. After approval and revision, I could go onto a more finalized concept. 
For each drawing you see, I had to do 5 sketches to get to this stage.
Above is a detailed illustration of the statue in the graveyard.It provided reference for the artist who painted over the concept.
Above is probably one of my favorite backgrounds.
