All Photoshop
This mini-world composition showcases my Photoshop comping abilities. It shows a 3D image of a slice of the beautiful features of a Mediterranean coast. Nothing was 3D generated, rather everything seen is a photoshopped rendering of the elements. The cross-section of the hills, the highlights of the corners of the water, the birds, and the ground texture and shadows were all comped together from flat images.
My personal favorite detail is the boat, which was a flat image of a sailboat of which I gave a shadow and reflection, and handprinted a wake behind it.
Assets
Here are some creative assets I used to achieve this piece. Compiling the different elements required lots of masking, shaping, and color grading to achieve the final look.
