Making of 'Welcome to 2010'

So as usual i wanted to share a kind of making of my previous piece.

In this one i started with picture taken by my brother Surat Toimastov, who is quite famous photographer here in Tajikistan.

This picture was taken somewhere in Pamir Mountains.

Being inspired by this picture and having an idea in my mind i made sketch and continued to refine it.

I constructed a grid for buildings in order to have a proper perspective.

It took me quite long to refine those buildings but i hope it works well.

Other than that, i wanted to deliver this snowy atmosphere, so i spent some time to bring those snow and wind effects!
