Valley Matte

[eyecon]

Hi Guys!

Took me more than 2 weeks and 3 failed attempts to derive this idea. It seems that the previous matte project took most of my ideas away so I have to restart my system all over again.

Since this is a sketch there are obvious perspective issues. I have not really put that in mind while doing the image, I would be fixing them though, on the final one.

So any comments will be welcome!

very cool stuff... did you start this from reference, or did you design this whollly using perspective construction techniques?

My sketchbook is here

Hi softocean... Thanks for taking time to view my WIP.

This was not based on any reference image, To start I made a small pencilled thumbnail, maybe 2x6 inch and scanned it. Then colored it in photoshop. The finished product though would extensivelly use reference images and 3d rendered images along with a few painting to create a somehow realistic final image. for an update see below!

:::::::Heres an update....::::::::

Not much, modelled the rocks, and realized that I placed the wrong color / texture... somehow it just does not fit..., will change that later. I'll just use the shadows and the light cast. So far most of the update is the background, which includes mountains and the clouds.

Oh, I tried to change the clouds but surprisinglly when I placed this image it somehow just fits in! So nuff said for the clouds...

Again comments will be welcome!

As always any comment will be welcomed!
