INTRODUCTION
Hi everyone, my name is Djus Almaz and I am a concept artist from Kyrgyzstan. I have been doing concept art for 3 years already.
In our time, it seems to me that everyone should have at least basic knowledge of 3D.
INSPIRATION
This concept art was created for my mini course.
First, I started looking for references and inspiration.
Then, I made some sketch frames.
MODELING
On this project, I did not model from scratch, but changed some ready-made assets using modeling and sculpting.
I added and removed the unnecessary details.
For example, I assembled the character from different parts and adjusted the shapes using sculpting, then loaded it into Mixamo for bones.
The textures were collected from photos and edited. I made them gray and cold blue to show the atmosphere of my world.
BLOCKING-OUT THE SCENE
First, I put together a blocking scene using very basic shapes like cubes.
Then I started to scatter ready-made assets. Most of them are duplicates, so I resized and rotated them so that they all looked different. Simply and easily.

LIGHTING
I adjusted the light and with the help of smoke and fog, I found light contrast. Thus, I could highlight a character or an object that was important in the scene.
Before lighting adjustments.
And, after adding smoke and light contrast.
The Smoke Overlayer shader consisted of a smoke image connected to a Mix RGB node which was attached to a Mix shader via an emission node. A transparent BSDF was also connected to the Mix shader along with a Color ramp. The smoke image had a Texture coordinate node and a Mapping node.
RENDERING
I rendered a few frames and came to do a paintover:
- I enhanced the light contrast.
- I removed all the unnecessary details.
- I added water, rain and all the effects that I could not add in Blender.
