parallel realities: the bus stop

Reflections have something magic. A mirror, a glass plate or the surface of the water, in every reflection there is a reality similar to ours yet different...

This scene is set in a metropolis, at night, while it is raining. In a puddle, a glimpse of a different reality opens up: a clear and sunny sky.

I've just completed a personal render, a project that has been buzzing in my head for a long time.
The initial idea was to do the blockout in 3D and then complete it in anime style digital paint, however as the scene took shape I started to play with the materials, the lights, the colors and this came out in the end. The final result is entirely made within Blender, no postprocessing with other software.
