The lost fortress

My second Halo related work. This scene is about two scouting pelicans finding abandoned militarybase that was occupied by Spartans after the odds were turned heavily against the humanity, during the first strike. The reason why Spartans decided to withdraw into middle of ice and snowstorms is still unclear, but it has been speculated that, the Spartans assumed it would be difficult enough for the Covenant to find them in the next few months, allowing them to properly prepare to strike back...This assumption was proven to be fatal.

I used a specific Halo concept work as a reference for the structure, but i can´t find it anymore...The pelican was modeled using multiple pictures and screencaptures found from the internet.

Applications used: Modo, Vue, Vray for rendering + Photoshop.

It took nearly 3 weeks to complete this one, thanks to studying...
