This is a personal project based on an idea Guilherme had sometime ago: to place a Gecko in an almost macro shot in the forest, and in love with some Fini candies. After developing the look and feel of our hero and it's candy muse, the environment was built using a mix of Megascan models. With the render passes composited, color and light were tweaked to give the image a magical misty morning look. Further adding details with some bokeh, particles and depth of field.
