My goal with engorgement was to make it feel like you were moving through drawings in a way that made them feel really tangible. I did this by first greyboxing the level and then tracing over that greybox. Below you can see the process of making these backgrounds.
For elements that you could walk in front or behind of, like furniture and doorways, I would just carefully position the sprite in the scene until things looked right. This was my first time making a 3D game, so I could probably think of a more efficient method if I tried this again!
