Kreola psd file GUMROAD

Another Photoshop file on Gumroad of a matte painting titled Kreola - it was a competition hosted on CG Society. It was shortlisted in top 10 entries list. Within the file you will find 3d renders that served as a base for this work. Layers are named and grouped for easy navigation within the stack. By scrutinizing this file you will be able to learn my techniques.
