Post Apocalyptic world 3D: Reflection

Technical
For this assignment I used photos from online and transformed them into brushes. I also us some of the brushes that were already. I used a certain colour choice to create a 3D image.

Idea or Concept
For my original idea I wanted a whole family using things from the destroyed world but it was a bit much to put in and I wasn't able to find the right pictures for my idea. So in the end I ended up just adding one person and making look like he lived in a make shift tree house in an overgrown area with a destroyed factory.

Influences
My influence was not an artist but I did get inspiration from a movie I watched once where in a futuristic the forces of nature came down upon the humans and nearly whipped them out. The people lived in the remains of the buildings and used the remain tools and items to live and where some lived in harmony others saute to fight nature.

Composition
I guess this picture is pretty asymmetrical you sort of start on the ground and then move up towards the sky. I tried to make current things pop out that I thought were most important such as the tree house, the person, the bird, and the trail to the factory. I also thought that these images would guide the viewers eyes around the picture.

Motivation
For this piece I didn't really have to much motivation other than the fact that I thought the 3D was cool and interesting to work with but it was hard to work it in with theme. the theme itself was interesting to make and I liked the consept of an apocalyptic world.

Critical Assessment
I think the most successful thing about this assignment was the 3D aspect of it. I believe all the items I wanted to make pop worked and showed in the picture.If I had more time I would have made the scene more apocalyptic because I find that my scene doesn't look like an apocalyptic world.
