This is a Matte Painting I created for Kitbash3D’s “BRIGHT ART DARK TIMES” theme a while ago, reflecting the tension between hope and struggle, light and shadow, and the resilience of creativity in challenging moments.

For this piece, I used the Utopia Kit from Kitbash3D, carefully aligning the assets to match the scene’s perspective so the architecture felt natural and cohesive. I rendered the buildings as cutouts in Blender, which allowed me flexibility in placement and layering. From there, I composited the elements in Photoshop, adjusting lighting, color, and atmospheric effects to unify the scene and create a sense of depth and immersion.
