Empire Subscriber Cover: Summer 22

Summer '22 Subscriber cover for Empire magazine.
Brief was to do an isometric (wimmelbild) cover of a fake Hollywood style studio, showcasing upcoming film and TV releases.  I was given a list of trailers and characters to include and asked to have a sand/desert area as well as a train.

Luckily I'd visited pinewood a few years back, so got the vibe of what a studio was like (everyone seems to be holding coffee, drinking coffees or running to get coffees - understandable as they are usually up early. So there's that. I don't really like minions, so was sure to put them in precarious situations. Otherwise I just had fun building little sets and situations.
