Building my Scandinavian dreams

Using megascans and the Spurce Forest form Project Nature I created these two nature scenes. This first one is heavily inspired by the Swedish late summer days in a pine forest. There is something very magical to me about tall trees in a pine forest, and tried to convey this in the greens and the warm god rays filling up the spaces in between the trees. A light system was very helpful in achieving this.

The second scene takes inspiration from Hamarøy, the municipality in Norway where my grandfather is from. It's very dear to my heart and I always long for the mountains.

Using berries, and flowers native to Northern Norway, alongside the harsh mountain and the warm midnight sun. I captured a little glimpse of it's natural beauty.

But of course, nothing beats the real thing.
