I was asked to create a poster for an event of a hobby group I am a part of; This image formed the base of the poster. That's why there's a larger unused area in the sky, to make place for headings and texts. Nonetheless, I am generally very happy with the image even outside of its use as a poster.
I am particularly content with the clouds; those are a relatively simple procedural shader, but Eevee's improved volumetric rendering made working with it a joy.
Otherwise, the image is rather blatantly based on Idylls of the King, a work by Gustave Doré which has been used for album covers on multiple occasions. What can I say, it's just a really nice illustration.
the castle; the textures in the image 😍 Cool!
