Personal project: Shadar Logoth (A location from the Wheel of Time)

Environment work is one of my favourite compositing tasks. I haven’t had a chance to do much of it professionally, so I decided to make a personal project that is completely about environment and matte painting. To make it more fun, I limited myself to work only with pictures I have taken in the past. Except the smoke elements, there aren’t any stock textures or images used in this shot. The inspiration came from an abandoned ancient city in the Wheel of Time series.
