I've done some structural elements and base lighting already.

Looking good! I really like the mood that you created

Enviromist · Oct 2017

thank you! glad to hear it. I'm going to make a custom skybox and volumetric clouds. Could you guys recommend any good tutorial for clouds? I've never done it before.

Sneat!

Wow the sky looks fantastic! I think your lighting (which is probably temporary) is good but the warm hot spots feel very default and samey. Like, looking at the composition as a whole, each one of those warm light splashes appear to be the same brightness, color, size or in other words, they all read as equally important which makes them seem bland. I think you could go bolder in that one aspect with different intensities, occlusion objects, hierarchy of importance, etc.

Other than that I think it's very surreal and cool!

This is really cool, love it!

Thank you for comments guys. Eh lighting is draft, but thank you for cool suggestion. I'll definitely play with intensity.

I can't believe, but I finally found some time on vacations to finish this long project. Sorry guys for not posting progress here. I almost entirely stopped working on this project for about a year, since I got a fulltime job. I just didn't have time:( I'll definitely do some detailed breakdown later and post it.
Here are some screenshots of the scene. Please, tell me what you think. I would really appreciate any feedback.

Also, feel free to visit my art station for more hi res screenshots and Video!
