In Search of the Lost Civilisation

[Danka]

Another matte paint for fun...

I was imagined the discovery of an old lost civilisation...

I used a photo found on web for base, and i was ispired by old indian temples for architecture.

i love it!!AMAZING :shock:
(I wish i could see Indy in those ruins)

The only thing that bugs me(a bit) is the position of the bridge in the right part of the image.(or in the detail image)

[Danka]

Thanx iordanis21 !

:? what's the problem of the bridge?

:)

[Novalism]

wow wondefull man!
how do you get in so much detail... damn
It looks flat when i try things like this :(

I try to add color variations really small ones but still...
any suggestions?


the composition and atmosphere looks wonderfull!

hi Danka!

my english are not good enough to explain exactly what i mean.Sorry. :roll:
Could you please allow me to draw over the detail image that we can clearly see the bridge?
(If not,i understand completely) :wink:

I think that what i want diferent in the bridge is clearly a matter of taste and not a mistake and i also want to say that i admire your work!!(both this,(amazing detail) and the haunted house!!)

*can we PLEASE have a step by step on this one, too?* :oops: :D
:D

looks awesome! excellent work. my take on the bridge is this: typically when constructing a bridge, you'd want to span the narrowest part of the chasm. following this logic, I would've connected the bridge right at that nearby corner.

Like this piece a lot. Good call about the bridge though, try making it 10pm instead of 9pm (not sure how else to describe it!) What res did you work at?

[Riddick]

A very cool work and the original picture is amazing!
But you should work on a biggest support.
Keep this good job!

Very Nice composition.
How the hell did you find such a great pic? What was your search?
I love it. it feels very authentic but at the same time futuristic. Kinda like in time machine.
Great job!

RayLaVeau: thanx! I scanned the image from a magazine... ;-)
