KITBASH THE GROUNDWORK
Sebastian Luca reveals the process that resulted in his dystopian lemonade stand
“This piece started as a chill doodle-fest where I kitbash shapes and ideas until something vaguely coherent emerges. That’s how I ended up with an overly ambitious lemonade stand floating in a dystopian cityscape. The process itself is straightforward: I grab generic models from the market, kitbash them into something larger, and model the custom details myself using 3DCoat and Blender. For this sketch, I rendered everything in KeyShot, though Unreal Engine is usually my go-to. I’d recommend kitbashing everything, as it skips the technical drudgery and leaves you with more brainpower for the fun, creative stuff .”
