First time creating a surreal scene, but it turned out well! It was quite a change in pace just throwing together a mix of things together in a nonsensical manner and having fun with it. I really got to toy with some different lighting and set up. The portal was quite a challenge to work in, as I didn’t have a model I could put in. I ended up simulating all the lights and glowing effects of it and editing it in later in post, which took quite some effort. However, it was worth the work! I also worked on editing a separate ambient occlusion layer to enhance shadows and reduce them when needed. I spend some more time editing fine details to balance color, lightness, contrast on individual pieces. Overall, I’m quite happy with how this turned out and it feel like I’m getting the hang of it! I look forward to doing some more surreal projects in the future! Let me know what you think or if your have any critiques you would like to make!
