Begin modelling in 3D to obtain the best viewpoint

I model the clock in Blender. I do this so that later I can adjust the final composition. I place the camera low on the ground to show the clock looming over the figures. If I wanted to draw this angle in 2D software it would take me ages; working in 3D means I can adjust the camera as much as I want. Next, I take the composition into Photoshop and set the light as Directional Soft Light, to give the scene an overcast feeling.
