Process:
I recently started playing Borderlands (the first one) a few days ago with my housemates, and in the edition we bought there's a zombie mode. So I decided to make so zombie art!
I started by making the street, the buildings, the street lamps, then I added the zombies (models from mixamo.com). That's when things got tricky. Playing with the volume, the lights, the right balance of everything was a MAJOR pain in the neck.
I started feeling up the street with various bunch of stuff I modeled/models I had in stock/models I downloaded from turbosquid.com. A bit of texturing on the buildings to make them look old and broken,, some metal here and there, a few bricks and empty cans, and voila!
I rendered with the Eevee engine, as Cycles was giving me 32h of render time, and after 19h of it I realized that there was still a lot of noise at 3000 samples and that the scene was just too much for my machine. So Eevee it is!
I threw the whole lot in GIMP for composition and in Inkscape after that for some vectorizing (I thought the effect would look cool).
Add some overlays, some hand drawn dust, some colour management and we are done!
