Hi everyone!
Here's 'Town Crier', a piece I did for myself a couple years ago and still to this day is one of my favorites.
Does look a bit small when you see it here so I made a few close-ups. :)
This is also one of the most complex artworks I've made when it comes to environments. I did render the castles in Vue (not really what the software is for haha) and I had one render at night and one during the day. That way I could have the night render be what's mostly seen, but use the daylight rendering to add the light on the walls.
As I (almost) always do, I made a process animation back in the day. It starts with the depth map that Vue exports if you ask it to.
But if you want to go deeper into it, I also made a video of the whole process that you can see here:
Here's a list of the resources I used:

Later on, this artwork became the cover art for Frederick the Victorious' album "The Widow's Watch".
