I remember when a was a little kid I used to love illustrated books. I was really amazed by the images inside them. Among them was a book about history, heroes and forgotten battles.
Well, a long time passed by, and recently I began wondering if I would be able to recreate that atmosphere...
So... Everything was modeled in XSI. Textures and displacement done in ZBrush and/or Photoshop. I also used Photoshop for composing the final image and some corrections.
Et voila. I hope you like it.
