I was inspired by the artwork of Skyrim and decided to create a scene from Lord of the Rings in the same nordic style. For the landscape I followed a tutorial by Choco on polycount. I worked with Ryan Wongwai who created the interior of the main building while I created the landscape and surrounding village.
