Racing Car Concept Scene Inspired by "Ready Player One"

I was really inspired by the racing scene in
" #ReadyPlayerOne " (2018). So I wanted to do a concept design of two modded cars racing each other. I imagined this world taking place around 2028. Where modded racing has become a mainstream sport, where all different types of cars can participate. The world of racing became a new way of life. I wanted to illustrate a world that has a futuristic feel but still recognizable.

This concept design was made from a three part process. To get the composition flowing, I modeled a basic tunnel and cars. This gave me a better photo to establish where my subjects would be. The 2nd photo shows the basic textures/colors added to the environment. (Blender)This gives me a guide to add the final colors in later. The third picture shows the final product! I finished and painted in all the finer details in Photoshop. This includes painting in the sparks, reflections, directional blur, lighting trails etc.
