'Fairy Heart'

Hey!

For this one, I decided to end this kind of story about fairies, showing the village on a tree where they live.

I tried to illuminate the entire scene with lights to give it a more stylized look, but in the end had to switch to a HDRI because the light wasn’t making sense.
The hardest part was getting all the light and shadows right, and covering a lot of spots where light was reaching without disturbing other places.

This time I decided to focus more on compositing instead of photo editing just to get better at it and shorten the work of editing again in a higher resolution.
I sculpted and textured the tree and the houses along with some smaller things. HDRI and ground texture from Polyhaven.

If you´re interested, there will be a time-lapse/breakthrough video soon on my Instagram.
