This is one of the Environments created for Quixel_s _Ninety Days_ project, during which each individual artist in our team was tasked with completing as many different environment as possible, all in a timespan of 90 days.

I approached this environment like a painting and I used quite a bit of traditional renaissance environment paintings as a reference both for colors and composition. I built it in layers with the forest connecting the planes and to help add some depth and continuity to the environment.
Everything for _Ninety Days_ was created using the Epic Games and Quixel Ecosystem, meaning we used Megascans, Metahumans, Sketchfab and the Epic Marketplace.
A massively heartfelt thankyou to the amazing people I get to work alongside with:
