Hello! This is my second attempt at creating a small environment. I started by developing a simple story and gathering references. However, after a few days, I realized that my original idea was too ambitious in scale. So, I made a drastic change and scaled it down significantly.

Then I spent a long time learning Substance Designer (which later I decided not to use) and Unreal Engine.
This is what I got so far, with the remaining time I will try to improve it as much as I can.
