"Cyberpunk Cityscape" - Work in progress scene

This is a personal matte painting - intending to show the paint progress
Starting from original base render from Unreal engine - mocked up using mostly free assets from epics free packs - crudely positioned for a test lighting render, right through to the final 2D matte painting using a mixture of Photo-montaged matte work and hand painted elements

Initial Previs Block-In done in Unreal Engine

Adjusting the layout - experimenting

looking at the perspective grid in Photoshop

adjusted camera angle for less centralised vanishing point, then blocking in mid ground base structures

The polish pass over the Foreground - adding characters and trying to reinforce the focal point

The final matte after mid-ground polish pass and painting the sky etc
