Matte Painting Cover art for the new Kitbash3d collection, Neo Shanghai.
Cyberpunk is my favorite genre for matte paintings, when I got the chance to do this cover I had a lot of fun even thinking about it, the kit is amazing, so detailed and the PBR materials make everything look amazing, minor tweaks were done here and there but the fun of playing with high quality assets is just pure fun!
About the story in this image, I pictured this character in our FG maybe she/he just had dinner at that Diner and is just walking alone under the rain in a big busy city.
the reality about how among lots of people and an environment like this, you can still be and feel totally alone.
it just gives a better storyline than the cliche action shot I guess...
Looking to make it look more like a frame from a movie rather than a painting, taking care of the optically correct bloom effects, exponential glows and camera artifacts.
