Backgrounds Limited, TM

Creating backgrounds(BGs) is definitely different on how you create sprites or cutscenes. Furthermore, you can reuse them on your future projects or at least render them. There's a lot in the internet that you can possibly use (remember to credit the one who made it) though sometimes it just doesn't fit the style of the overall theme of your visual novel. The following are great sites to rummage through:

Sketchy Business

Just figured to post at least some of my sketches here before they were colored digitally. The whole concept of the image changes as it turns into digital media. 
(Sorry for the lame pun.)

Ryse - Fanart of an OC

Alice - Animus Rush Protagonist

Han - Animus Rush Romanceable

Jiro - Animus Rush Romanceable

Kaoru - Animus Rush Romanceable

Rita - Animus Rush Best friend
As you can see, the above images also show the character designs of the cast of our VN, Animus Rush. Their respective character descriptions would be at a later date though but I'll keep you posted.
