I can proudly say the first shot of my long ongoing project is finally done!
It is only a part of the biggest personal project I have attempted this far: A very extensive fanart of book 1 of the amazing Heiko Hentschel's ingenious fantasy series of novels: The Hungry Glass (Das Hungrige Glas)! Heiko, who is not only a fantastic writer, but also a visual artist himself, has this fun cinematic way of descriptions and storytelling, that inspired me to make a 1-minute cinematic trailer based on his first novel. Definitely check out his portfolio!

In this shot, the Black Ship (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lRRAwk) and my architecture kit (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/B3mLJ9) finally come together, as well as accompanying two other larger assets I made and that will eventually find their way onto my account in a separate post: The griffin and the small figure of the captain.
This shot took me waaaay too long, but I hope speed will increase soon, as this establishing shot was quite intense in terms of asset load and memory usage.
Everything rendered in Blender Eevee of course, color grading in DaVinci Resolve.
