-A 3d recreation of Simon Stålenhags 2d Illustration.

This is probably the most faithful recreation from 2D to 3D i ever saw. Well done! The only thing i don't really like, is the cellular tower - it looks too cartoonish and somehow does not well with the rest of the image, but since you obviously choose to recreate original image as close as possible, this critique is irrelevant.

Your a harsh critic, thats very good work.
I have 2 of his books and thats very good.

Thank you both of you for the kind words. I appreciate them really!

@romullus- Completely agree, but I truly wanted to make it 1to1 replication as much as I could. Took as few liberties as I could.
I thought maybe in the tower adding some minor rust patches here and there, and also snow would make sense, but It strayed far from the illustration.
Not my intention to make "My" addition or rendition, as I do not prefer in these cases.
But I feel honored to hear I achieved a pretty close recreation.

I made a 12 minute time-lapse of the main work done, if anyone is interested to find how some things were made (simple things really) here is the link:

If anyone is interested go and check it out. Glad I had the opportunity to share it.

Also I've made some new renders with different lighting setups.
