UE5 Megascans Spooky Forest Scene - Personal Lighting Project

Hello! This is a much different piece than I usually do- I did not model or surface anything in this scene, it's all megascans and metahuman. I wanted to explore the vegetation and landscape tools in UE5, and have fun focusing on the lighting, composition, and storytelling, more of a personal expression of an idea than a full out portfolio piece. I imagine that the woman in this scene recently went through a loss, and in her grief took a walk at night through the forest to reflect on her life and her regrets. Maybe she stumbled across this little pool that feels a little bit otherworldly or magical, in a dangerous way, but in her loneliness is comforted by it. A little bit darker in tone than much of my other art but I hope you enjoy!
