I (and my friend Hilary Yeo) painted all the cg buildings for Rohan. The buildings on the top of the hill were live action sets, then all the buildings on the hillside below and the wall was CG. As I was getting a little bored trying to paint variations into the buildings, I added in a few modern details to see what I could get away with onscreen - one has a bicycle leaning up against a wall, and another has a tv and playstation on the front porch. They're so small you'll never see them but they're in there somewhere.

I love this reveal, the perfect combination of live action, majestic
location, live action set and CG buildings.
