I ultimately ended up picking this environment as the final pick for my submission.
I felt like this one had the greater impact and conveyed stronger emotions, while maintaining the same storytelling.

 

For this option I focused on softer colors and more emphasis on the storytelling.
I wanted to maintain a sense of serenity and calm along with greatness.

Overpaint done in Photoshop mainly with brushes and minor photobash.
 

Upon picking my 2 favourite thumbnails, I went on Blender and started building the scene.
After making a quick render I started doing some color adjustments before doing any overpaint

In the first phase I began searching for references regarding the concept of a vertical spa, I ended up stumbling upon an idea I already had in mind about a safe haven with natural pools in an unusual vertical formation.

Afterwards i hopped on Photoshop and made some quick thumbnails.
