This set is 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!

This project required some specific background models of early 19th century city buildings from Northern Europe within a winter setting. So I took inspiration from Dutch painters from that period, like Cornelis Springer or Willem Koekkoek, to create a modular set within Blender's Eevee, since this project is going to be rendered in Eevee anyway. It was quite some effort and I hope it pays off in the end, since the building won't be visible that close, but still this was a lot of fun! I relied heavily on the Vertexpainting workflow to automate the texturing while still trying to make every building unique and not too uniform-looking. For now I created five buildings, but the possibilities are theoretically endless. I think I'll also expand this set further when I see fit, but for now these pieces are quite sufficient.
Textures are almost entirely by the beyond-awesome and free (!!) polyhaven.com. Definitely check their textures out, if you haven't already!
