Making The Visit - Backgrounds

Here's another background sketch that exists only to help me find the style I want for this movie. I am leaning toward using a combination of fully rendered cartoon characters against more stylized backgrounds. I'd like some sort of sketchiness or some brushstrokes to show. The good part about doing all this work is that I may stumble across techniques that could be used on other projects even if they are discarded from this one. It is also important that I find a technique or style that will allow me to make many large backgrounds in a relatively short time. This background sketch was done in ArtRage.
