Making of The Rescue team

Our golden winner of the Ghost City: Infection Adrian Baluta chat with us how he create the winner work “The Rescue team”.

I start this work for the Ghost city Challenge and I liket the ideea of contaminated city. I am a scifi fan and I said why not.
First I make the sckatch and I use a strong perspective because you have a different feling about the depth.

After that I start making the sky and the clouds.For that I use mattepainting tehnic building from different cloud photos.

Next step was to build the buildings on the back and give them a ghost atmosphere. I chose a classic arhitecture is more contrasted with the new tehnologie. Rescue ship and future soldture.

Now I build the ship from photo motors engine and metal texture using ofcorse the drawing reference.

And after I did the soldture and the small cargo using the same tehnic.

Now the difficult part is,using this matte tehnic to integrate all in one picture and set the light and the atmosphere.

After the light was set I paint some accent to integrate the soldture and the ship in to background.

And here is the final result.
