2D Week 05 Perspective Assignment

For this weeks 2D assignment we had to take a piece from the artist John Berkey and model it in Maya to gain a better understanding of perspective and how 3D software can help aid us in creating reference images for 2D usage.  After I rendered the 3D model I took the render image and brought it into Photoshop to create a 2D recreation of the original image.  I decided to go with a more painterly style when recreating the image because I didn't want to create an exact copy of the original.  I chose this piece because I like one point perspective and the long receding sight lines that are created in environments by one point perspective.  Below is the original image created by John Berkey and below that is the Maya render image after I created the model.  And at the bottom is my recreation of the John Berkey piece.
