About

Type of work: Illustration

Created while I was studying at Gnomon, this matte painting marks one of my first forays into 3‑D projection mapping. The camera pulls in to reveal a sprawling city nestled inside a volcano, with animated waterfalls, soaring craft, and other dynamic elements adding life to the scene.

Though the project never reached full development, the illustration remains a vivid reminder of the early stages of my artistic journey.
