Still need to give the guy a hat, change his staff and the sticks in the doorway (they're all the same object that I made as an early placeholder). I can't for the life of me figure out how to get nice looking volumetric clouds within Octane yet.

Nice idea and render !

Very cool, I like it.

Photoshop dem clouds? Use gimp if you don't have it. Saves time rendering, but if you really wanna have rendered clouds I don't know how to help yah.

Yep, putting in 2D clouds in post is a last resort. It'd be really nice if I could get some real ones in the render though.

nice concept and a kool render !!

Just put a plane in background with a diffuse material and cloudy sky texture, and give it some transparency, and some emission if toodark. Also play with the gamma, and you will add some details in your sky.

I used this method for these recent renders inspired by the drawing of the young "Ellie" Ann Arroway in the movie "Contact" :
