Beginner matte paintings, WIP
 

Hello!

Here I will post wip pictures on some of my more time consuming mattes and hopefully get some feedback while I'm still working on them.

Thanks!

The NOHAB sign should be more deteriorated,based on the state of the building.Be careful when texturing.I looked just a little bit better at the whole image,and it's instantly noticeable that you just overlayed the flora textures over the buildings and reduced their opacity.The textures should have more depth to them and should follow the shape of the building.

Thank you very much for the feedback. :] This picture is already finished but I will definitely keep that in mind when I do something similar.

When you say "depth" to the textures, what do you mean and how do I do it?

Thanks,

Alexander

Hello,

This is very early wip. Just positioning everything and stuff like that. I know that I probably will have to re-size the "building/balcony" to the left, though not 100% sure how much. (The rock that have red color over it will probably be removed and I will add a vulcano "on the other side" of the water.)
Anyway, feedback would be great.

Thanks for looking.

wow, you'd really have some work to bring that together with the multiple light sources, I'd try and get reference shots that had a more similar sunlight direction and height, otherwise you could be painting shadows for weeks :)

Hehe, yes, I will probably have to paint shadows for quite some time. And thanks for the tip. :]

FYI I flipped the foreground element and that kinda helped the depth since there are no pillars blocking the depth.

Heya,

Just posting a quick wip on this matte. I still have a loooooot of work to do but yeah.. Hopefully it will turn out good once it's done.

Thanks.

Heeeeeey,

I've got a major problem right here.. I don't know how I should do with the light on the mountains/rocks and in the foreground.. (Still a lot to do but it I know this will be a problem for me)

If someone could help me with a few sentences or doing a quick paint-over with the lightning it would be really really great.

Thanks,

Alexander I
