The following render was me following a tutorial for the most part to be able to create the two planes or grounds in the picture; as well as help me properly set up and understand the camera a little bit more.
The lighting can also be credited to the video but I didn't necessarily need it, I decided for a more ominous purple-dark tone in an attempt to capture a alienist feel. The Distant "City" in the background is made up of mostly resized cubes with a hair modifier on their vertices to create a beacon like effect which I think came out well.
