So here we are, again. Simply enjoying drawing to improve my lighting skills as I become a student again.

I recently made this study based on the film Azrael, by E.L. Katz. I often need to paint when I want to anchor the lighting knowledge. I really enjoyed this painting session.

I was a bit bored tonight, so I thought I could make a few nebulas in substance designer. Yeah... just for fun. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

The render isn't perfect, but there's something magical about being able to generate them randomly. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Studies - 2025, Estelle Panel ๐Ÿ’ก On youtube, I found videos of people driving alone through Seoul at night and was inspired by the mood. I wanted to study the lighting and capture the quiet atmosphere.

Thank you very much! I love that you saw your own memories in it. Thereโ€™s something so quiet and peacefull when the city fall asleepโ€ฆ like the world pauses just for a moment. Iโ€™m really glad it resonated with you ๐Ÿ’™

I started this re-lighting in june to diversify my portfolio with science-fiction inspiration. Made in Unreal engine with lumen.
Many thanks to @guillaumedm.bsky.social ffor sharing his knowledge and advices. โ™ฅโ€ฟโ™ฅ

In april, I made a comparaison between my very first lighting (october 2022) and a recent one (april 2023). I guess... Never underestimate your capacity to learn and progress. If you believe in yourself and follow advices, you can improve your skills with some efforts.

Thank you Guillaume <3

The original scene was created by Angel Fernandes and was on the epic store.

I finished the lighting process with a LUT made in Photoshop, and applied in the post-process volume. I increased the contrast and adjusted the color balance. This is an easy way to add the final touch to the lighting. Each lighting had its own LUT.

The project was made with lumen from unreal5. In terms of lighting, I used a combination of dynamic lights associated with the previous HDRI Backdrop. I tried to emulate a natural light and avoid the feeling of unnatural spotlights.

To recreate the atmosphere of the painting, I used an HDRI dropped in the HDRIBackdrop. The HDRI come from HDRIHaven. I twisted it with hue, saturation and exposure in photoshop. Then I added a gradient for a better blend with the ExponentialHeightFog.

This time I wanted to contrast with the melancholy of the first lighting.

The project was mainly inspired by Alexei Savrasov (1830 - 1897) a russian landscape painter. I worked to imitate his soft natural light and to recreate the specific contrast, between a bright sky and stormy clouds.

There is so much to say but my brain still need to process this masterpiece. Can't wait to rewatching it ! (๏ฝกโ—•โ€ฟโ—•๏ฝก)

I wasn't surprised that Kurosawa was interested in Macbeth. The theme of this drama has a lot in common with Japanese literature. It's a story of destiny, betrayal and honor. And it was interesting to see the witches become spirits or Kami in this interpretation.

๐Ÿ™ The film was a great surprise. Although it dates from 1957, the staging remains modern. And to be honest, I really enjoyed the parallels with Noh theater, but not only. The composition, timing and lighting were a masterclass. โค๏ธ
