Thena

This environment was conceived as a setting suited to a sci-fi or fantasy narrative, drawing strong inspiration from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. I aimed for a cooler, desaturated earth palette to create a moody, otherworldly atmosphere, before bringing the scene to life through layered VFX elements and compositing.

This piece was created prior to formally beginning my studies in Nuke compositing and marks my first entry into The Rookies competition. It represents an early exploration into environment design, mood, and visual storytelling through compositing and effects integration.
