In this series of tutorials we are going to create a concept art based on simple 3D model render which we will enhance in Photoshop to a believable, apocalyptic environment.
We will use various techniques that will help to achieve coherent results that could also be applied to the creation of matte paintings. We will look at recreating lighting, introduction of damage to the elements of architecture, texturing in Photoshop, suggesting strong atmosphere with emphasis on depth cueing, and finally painting over using graphic tablet.
