Notes:
It seems I’m in a weird place mentally at the moment. I keep creating these darkly surreal artworks and I’m not sure why. At first I wrote it off as nothing since I was recreating artworks of ideas I came up with years ago during a different mindset. This artwork though, is brand new and not a redux. I feel rather fine at the moment but my muse is apparently a different story. Regardless, this is a cool conceptual artwork and I’m glad that I was in the mood to create it now.
Technical Notes:
The hardest part of this scene was setting up the lighting. I ended up using an HDR light setup then rendering the shadows with a point light in a separate render. I then combined the two renders (one diffuse only, one shadows only) in Photoshop. After that, I used a variety of filters and Photoshop actions to enhance the renders and finish the artwork. I also added a grungy style border and overlay to the artwork.
