Long Day

Another recreation poster. Se the original HERE: fav.me/da302su by istarlove
Because of model limitations (again) I could quite grasp the feel of the original. So I just went with a worn out tracer taking a break from Overwatch or something like that. I dunno. This piece was more of a focus on lighting than anything (as per the usual for me) Lighting is everything imho. Around 18 lights were used. Some being used for something as simple as the light refraction on the cup or guns. Then I made a second render of the image on the mirror map in SFM and compiled it with the original in Photoshop for the nice table reflections. It's a real shame that SFM can't do real time reflections for everyday objects. Then I used After Effects for the CC particles, and lens flare.
Enough rambling. It's tea time.
