Everybody on the developer team wanted drawn backgrounds. This lead to a couple of blog posts you may remember. It was then that we made the hard call to give up on the prospect of drawn backgrounds, and have a hard look at how we could accomplish our needs via modified photos. A certain amount of rewriting has helped, but the fact remained that we suddenly found ourselves requiring a ton of backgrounds we simply didn't have. What had happened is a complete explosion in the sheer amount of art assets required, especially in terms of backgrounds. Until we took stock of what would be needed after we were done writing. Backgrounds were for months entirely passed off as a future consideration as writing progressed on every path, which seemed to be fine. Which, as you can see from our current backgrounds, never materialised. These held us over while we waited for a background artist.
These backgrounds were grabbed from around the internet and therefore generally lacked any consistency, and were also taken from a variety of heights and angles. Pretty simple - an oil effect and colour wash on a monochrome image.
