Quick practice, focus on speed, not perfection, done in 4H with compositing and post processing. I was in a good flow and motivated to finish this piece in one go. Focus on big shapes and variation, not small details and pixels.
I used OpenExr for compositing the first time in blender, also using different passes and cryptomats, most prominent is the fog layer with Z-depth.
