3dTotal has a nice “Making of” from brandon Martynowicz covering his impressive combination of Google, Maya, V-Ray, and more all into the image above.

I have put together a short “Making Of” of my latest personal piece, called Final Stand. This image was inspired by a quick pencil sketch I did a while back. A big part of creating this image was to keep practicing my skill-set, and to play with composition and lighting. I love doing personal projects because they give me the freedom to create what I envision, rather than being under constant art direction.
