Everything 100% modeled from scratch except for the trees and the little statues. Additional software’s include photoshop for some paper grunge overlay and lightroom for LUTs. Let me know what you think! ---

Naw just get a lot of references and split it up into small sections. Also don’t forget to just model half of it you can mirror it later. ---

Super cathedral! Suggest dimming the clouds behind the cathedral a little as they may distract from the focus. ---
