Sci-Fi Sky City

Reflection:

In this design, I wanted to create a futuristic floating city on an alien planet. In order to create this design, I first wanted to create a gradient for the background, then I created several flat designs and textures, which I used to put on the 3D objects. I used the perspective grid and the 3D tool to assist me in that endeavor. After that, I used the flat designs of the main building and sign, and used the perspective grid to help me place the parts of the building and sign together in order to create the 3D illusion. Then, I changed the angles, position, and scale of the 3D floating diamonds to give them the illusion that they had depth. Finally, for the background, I created multilayered gradients with different transparencies and added the diamond and 3D planet in between the layers to give the illusion of a gas-filled sky. (Some parts of the final image were cut off intentionally to give the illusion that this is just a small part of a vast sky city.)
