Most of time was spent finding the perfect lighting. 

My first step was to use boxes to arrange the elements of the scene. Next step was to put cliffs instead of boxes. I used Mediterranean Coast pack from Epic Games Marketplace to create cliff surroundings. I placed the water in the center then I modified its parameters to match the vibe of the scene. Last step was to place the character on the rock and position the camera. 

Character was made using Zbrush and posed using Mixamo. Idea was to make him sit in a relaxed pose to show the stillness of the mind. Hat was made in Blender. 

My inspiration came from my trip to Thailand. The flow of positive energy that I felt while being surrounded by their beautiful nature made me realize I wanted to capture this feeling forever. The peace of mind.

I pictured this scene where monk (later I changed monk to regular man) sits on the rock in the middle of cave lake. Pinterest helped me find references to visualize my idea.
