Digital Painting - Final Project - Cityscape

For our final project we were to use perspective (1-point, 2-point or 3-point)  to create a futuristic/fantasy type city. We were to mainly use mixer brushes. I had a lot of difficulty with perspective. I spent a whole 6 hour class trying different ways to make what I wanted to do work. Finally, because another student was using Maya to create his, I asked if it was ok if I did too. He said that he had no problem with how we got it to work as long as 1- it did work and 2- we brought it into Photoshop and "painted" it there. It took me 5 minutes to set it up in the 3D program.

For my Cityscape I took an excerpt from a favorite book series of mine- Star Doc by S. L. Viehl and recreated (from how I interpreted it for a class assignment only) the scene where Cherijo steps off the spaceship "Bestshot" onto her new home planet Kevarzangia Two. The planet is described as being lush and green with two suns, green mist, towering trees, buildings made from cargo spare parts.
 The perspective was created in Maya, the rest in Photoshop using a Wacom stylus.
