“Digital Painting” Compositing Project - Teahouse

I took a 10-week workshop with Chimirus to create “Digital Painting” concept art and pick up photo-bashing. My interests at the time revolved around action-packed Wuxia dramas and fantasy, so I had some fun combining ideas into something I wanted to create.

Initial Sketches

After that, a round of simplifying the idea down into something feasible. I finalized the angle and layout that I wanted, then began collecting assets from stock images, 3D renders from Blender, and my personal photo archives.

Refinement

The weeks after were spent refining the layout, masking edges, and overlaying texture after texture into Photoshop.
