TUNNEL OF BONES
COMMERCIAL / 2023
This was a commercial project, with the purpose of illustrating scenes for interior art. The characters portrayed are from Tunnel of Bones by V.E. Schwab. The scene is set at a restaurant in Paris, where Cassidy and Jacob are looking for the lost cat.

The finished result features more refined lighting and a more cleaned up look. Effects such as depth of field and blooming were added to the scene to further enhance the environment.
