I wasn't happy with the lighting, as it lacked real depth, definition and just looked a bit crappy. Got nowhere with the Mental Ray Sun & Sky setup that i used, so i decided to do the lighting again from scratch, using the 'traditional' method of using Key Lights, Specular Lights, Fill Lights, Bounce Lights and Rim Lights.
I thought about what look I wanted to achieve and looked at some source images of moonlit cityscapes. You can see the result above. It's not entirely finished yet, but i am quite happy with the redesigned look. I removed the zeppelin with the searchlight, as it was just an unnecessary complication to the scene, and didn't really add anything. Instead i added a starry sky and 2 moons (hey, it's still a fantasy scene). The white edge at the bottom is the fog.
Anyway, enjoy
