I'm currently working on a mountain scene. I wanted to have it in a sunset style. The fog I painted by myself. Any suggestions for modifications? Please let me know how you think about it :)

I personal recognized that it looks a bit flat. So any tips to give it more depth?

I had the pleasure to work on Gangster Squad. I did lots of research about the 40's in order to have a better understanding of the fashion, vehicles and architecture of those years. I received from the production designer some photographs of Los Angeles streets that I had to transform in glamorous boulevards of the 40's. This was a pretty complex task. The images were full of details and the director requested a high level of photo realism in order to understand exactly the final look of the movie.

I hope you like them! :)
