THE ALLEY
Inspired by colorful Latin American alleyways and Pixar’s Coco, I wanted this scene to feel lively, festive, and a little magical.
I used practical lighting and pockets of color to guide the eye through the alley, creating little invitations to explore. The warm gathering at the end of the street offers one destination, while the glowing yellow alley hints at something equally inviting just around the corner.
One of my favorite details is the mural, which I created by editing a render of my 3D alebrije cactus in Photoshop. The original cactus model is also featured as a separate project in my Gallery.
