I saved a lot of WIP shots while creating this image so I thought it would be cool to show my process. Created entirely in Maya and Photoshop.
- First I do an extremely rough thumbnail and work out what I want the image to contain

- In Maya I set the camera up and block in the city. I frequently draw over test renders to help me focus on the final composition

- Next it's a case of building all of the assets and working out lighting and shader set ups



- Once the Maya set is complete and rendered I use Photoshop to paint in all of the details



- Voila! After 100+ layers ze image is complete and I can play MW2 to celebrate
