This is the first story shot of my bachelor thesis called "The Signal". The story is about the exploration vessel "Endeavor" that is being build because a new landmass has been found. In this shot you can see the landmass being detected.

My workflow: I started out with rough sketches for the composition and then quickly moved to 3D (Blender). The character has been posed in DAZ Studio, the rest has been modeled in Blender. I created all Materials / Shader in Blender and rendered the image in Cycles. In Photoshop I made a paintover and finalized the artwork.
