Dusty Wine Cellar

Although this sounds like it should be a simple task, actually finding a photo or several photos of dusty wine cellars is no easy thing. Pinterest seems to have next to no such images and google image search is not much better. You mainly just get images returned of dusty wine bottles, but no images of dusty old cellars. So finding reference images for this work was not easy and also shows that there is not a photo of everything online!

I had in my mind dust particles floating in the air, and a dusty wine cellar with the last rays of sunlight shining through a small window. It's set in France, and the Coat of arms on the wall is a recreation of a French Coat of Arms.

It's modelled in Blender and the barrels, floors and walls were textured in Substance Painter. The large floating dust particles I added using Photoshop and did some colour styling in Lightroom.

Coat of Arms Info: A commemorative crest-shield of Sforza family (Sforza di Cotignola), made in gilded wood, with a lion and a crown on the top in the administration building of Santa Fiora, Grosseto, Tuscany. The piece dates to the end of 15th or beginning of 16th c. and is likely to be the oldest coat of arms of Sforza family as territorial princes (see the open princely crown on the top of the composition) preserved to date.
