Armored Warfare - IS-7
Promo art for Armored Warfare game. I was provided with 3d geometry of tank (property of Mail.ru). I've put custom procedural texture in Keyshot, setup the light. And then I've used photobashing and painted over it all, to get a realistic look. I especially dig the perforated cannon, it's like crocs of armored vehicles. Tank - IS-7.
Process
I am usually leaving canvas extended, for design team to work with, to make it more convenient to do recrop and stuff. Background behind tank is also kept intact, so it can be used with other vehicles for promos as well.
