A personal exploration of matte painting and light painting techniques built around a single, arresting image: a stag holding a glowing orb of magic between its antlers.
The concept leans into mysticism and fantasy, with a centered composition chosen deliberately to create an austere, almost ritualistic feeling — as if the viewer has stumbled upon something sacred. The light from the orb became the main creative challenge, requiring precise light painting work to make it feel like a believable source within the scene.
