I'm in the process of wrapping up my demo reel and wanted to showcase some of the works i've completed during my time in Gnomon. Hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone
Here is my Matte painting demo reel.
I started learning matte painting from 2019 May until now.
Paint the matte painting in PhotoShop, build the projection geo in Maya and do the compositing in Nuke.
Using Maya and Cinema4D to render the foreground.
I hope everyone likes it!
