The environment pieces are beautiful! I really love the last sci fi one; it would be well out of my own comfort zone to do a scene like that. Looks awesome.

Edit: Would love to see your process!

why_pack · Oct 2017

Thank you, it was extremely out of my comfort zone. I don't really do sci fi, so it was a pretty big challenge for me
here is the process

zachvance · Oct 2017

That's amazing, man. Thank you for sharing! I think I'm both going to have to expand into sci fi and cross the photobashing threshhold soon... everything is just so sharp and clean. Looking forward to seeing more!

Elithenia · Oct 2017

I love the use of colour!

why_pack · Oct 2017

@zachvance @Elithenia Thank you

I guess the key for a sharper image is just cleaning up and reducing the detail of photo textures and trying to keep the silhouettes simple and clean. Simple as that

TudorMorris · Oct 2017

Nice work - love seeing the 3D bases and process you went through

EricElwell · Oct 2017

I love this!

Bletzkarn · Oct 2017

is that a 3D paint over? if it is I love it. I really want to get into painting but the idea of mastering perspective is so damn hard, and I've been at it for 4 years..
