I played multiple roles in this project, here is a description of my roles

Mid-term - Environment artist
At this stage, the entire art team has enough 3d assets, but the environment is still empty
We needed to give the environment more character
So I went from being a concept artist to an environment artist, making sky box for our game
What was the game like before sky box?

I separated the picture into 7 layers. Each layer can move at different speeds. And the sun will sparkle and flicker (as a demon's eye is staring at you)
