Alien Cloudscape - Sue Lork

[Suemomo]

Hi everybody,

this is my first matte painting ever. I stumbled upon this forum a week ago when I was searching for tutorials about it, because I'd love to learn it. It's super fascinating.
I know I'm a total beginner, but I decided to give it a try, at least it's a good exercise. I learned a lot during this week and I had so much fun too.
So here are some of my WIPs. I hope to finish it until tomorrow! :)

My first concept:
