This was a behemoth of a project that took several weeks to complete as it was six projects in one. Probably spent about 30+ hours on just lighting and shadow alone. The idea was inspired by those whimsically real looking high fantasy posters from the 80s. Feasible, but still in uncanny valley territory.
