FULL VIEW

A project I've been working on for some time now, has gone through many stages, but I think it's enough.

It is a matte painting, made out of about 20 stock photos. Tried to get a realistic image while still keeping a fantasy feeling. It was difficult to get the whole piece to go well together , because of the large number of photos that were used. I had to do a lot of painting to get the right lighting, beacause each image came with a different lighting system, so all the highlights and shadows had to be remade. The black and white levels were also a chalange , I worked a lot to get the dept I was looking for.

Enjoy!

that's a very impressive piece of art you got there. when i saw the thumbnail, i thought "whoah what a photo, where is that from?!" but no i see it's digital....it looks really realistic, in my opinion, it's on of these "better than reality" images ;)

Hey man, think you could give some details as to what we're actually looking at here-- kind of hard to say right now and I have a feeling you won't get the credit you deserve if you don't.

Why would it be hard to say what this is? And I don't think it should really matter. It's a matte painting, made out of a lot of stock photos.

Thats incredible, if you hadn't have said it was made from lot's of diffrent pictures and PAINTED I would have assumed it was either a photograph or a rendered 3D peice.
