Bioluminescent Forest

Recreation of a fantastical environment of bioluminescent foliage and wildlife a wonderful illustration done by Emilie Santos. Sought out for a more in depth environmental piece and sharpening my organic modeling. See more of Emilie's wonderful work at https://www.instagram.com/emilie.santos.illustration/.

Aimed for great contrast between the dark corners of this forest and it's glowing elements.

I challenged myself to create a varied scene with minimal amount of assets.

Through experimentation and various guides a put together a simple leaf design.

Original concept from illustration by Emilie Santos.
