Anime Rainy Night City Background

I need a hand-painted, anime-style backdrop that my characters can stand in front of. The scene is a busy city street at night, lit by neon signs and lamplight, with rain slicking the pavement for that reflective, almost cinematic mood. I will give you the exact camera angle, rough layout, and the relative size of the characters so the perspective lines up perfectly.

The final artwork must feel ready for animation cleanup or paint-over: think rich colour gradients, believable depth, and subtle environmental storytelling (puddles, reflections, glowing signage). I work mostly in Photoshop, so a layered PSD is ideal, but Clip Studio Paint or Krita files are fine as long as they open cleanly in Photoshop.

Please deliver:
• A high-resolution layered file with separate foreground, mid-ground, and background elements so I can adjust parallax and add characters.
• A flattened, character-free “clean plate” PNG or TIFF for quick previews.

I’ll handle any final grading and composite work; your focus is the polished background. If you’re comfortable matching that moody, rain-washed anime look with strong, correct perspective, let’s talk timing and milestones.
