Ever wondered how Mewni would look like if it's more realistic?Matte painting:All of this is either handpainted or a bunch of photo put together and processed/filtered. The only 3d modeled part would be the diamond shapes (the shape is inspired by 'Regent Diamond') on the 2 biggest domes, which is the hardest part to figure out. It was modeled in 3ds max, rendered with matching lightning and cropped into the picture and further masked to fit. This was made soon after I finished watching S2 finale, so it's been roughly a week, because I draw this on my free time.So you can see all the details, I try to make sure it's as realistic as possible without straying too far from the original cartoonish design. Fun details to take notice are the water tower, the 'corn' sign, the crests of the dome where the flags are, the diamonds, the pattern on the domes the railway/support structures, and a bunch of details I personally added to further detail the buildings.Unfortunately I grew tired of this project and decided to call it a day (or a week XD). I could improve on the background a bit, and I'm not really satisfied with the planets either. The windows on the castle pops up too much and is a bit distracting.Software used:Photoshop3ds MaxGoogle NIK CollectionsHere's the .psd file if you wanna know how I did this:Also please let me know in the comment if you downloaded it, and tell me if it helps you in the slightest.
