Where to Go from Here

Everyone reaches a point in their life where they don’t know where to go, which path to take since none of the paths seem clear. I’ve been at that point for so long now… is time running out?

I first came up with conceptual artwork back in 2011 and then recreated it in 2012. Now I’ve gone back and created a completely new artwork with a similar concept/theme though I altered it a bit to now show that time is running out by way of the approaching tornado. I think the raven on the signpost is trying to warn her to hurry up and choose a path before it’s too late.

I was going to use the 2012 redux scene as a base for this new redux, but I couldn’t get the scene file to open correctly. I was able to salvage that signpost prop but that’s it; everything else is from a brand-new scene that I created. Since I had to start over, nearly all the scene elements are new. The woman’s outfit is almost entirely dynamic cloth (three pieces in total) which had to be calculated. I used RDNA’s Terradome2 to create the background scenery then added a variety of desert plants and creepy trees. Finally, I rendered the scene with depth of field and an HDR light setup. In postwork, I used a variety of Photoshop actions and adjustment layers to darken and enhance the render. The tornado was created in postwork with quite a bit of digital painting.
