Before and after 3+ hours of photoshop

This is the longest I've spent photoshopping a render since... well, maybe the big destruction render in Kaylee 5? Actually I think this one took longer!

The crumbling building FX and all that are pretty much all done in photoshop, with the exception of a building on the bottom-right of the smoke cloud, which is actually a render I took of a pre-destroyed building, which I took from Kaylee 6 and edited to match the color and lighting of the scene. Oh, and probably about a quarter of the random particle effects are taken from a photoshop tutorial that Giantess Tina was nice enough to give me permission to use in my comics... the rest are from Action Essentials, and various royalty-free image sites like Pexels.

Looking at them now, there are parts of it where I probably used too many photoshop effects, or the lighting doesn't match up perfectly... but I think that, on the whole, the 'after' image looks way better! (Also, FWIW, I combined a few different renders with the smoke effects and the toppling building moved around, but the render on the right is the "main" one I used.
