At the moment I am looking at two different skills to improve: one-light-lighting (hadn't used distant lights in ages, but now revived their use) and getting scenes populated.

Still have to look at the lowpi-product and another one that was recommended to me when I came across Powerages Greek/Roman scene fillers. With these I filled my scene here. They were super easy to use: one can import groups, but still move every person separately. And they are really low poly.

And yes, looking at it now it could have been a Dangerous Curves Contest entry, but I think there are enough of similar looking images through all centuries already.
