Artist's Comments

hi guys!!

This is my first matte sketch, about a month ago i bought Dylan DVD's and there awsome...really recommend to all!! i took one of Dylan's photo reference and made a practise run, this is what i came up with. i really wanted to break away from what Dylan did and to others, so if fans happen to have bought the DVD's and see this image i wanted them to look at it and say "hey that's a totally different image, that's not from Dylan photos"

This took me about alomst four weeks, around 45hrs i spent on it, i really wanted to try out matte painting, or matte sketch whatever you guys want to call this image.

so tell me what you guys think about this one??should i continue to make more??

For people who don't about Matte Painting, its simple all it is photo manipulation and to be able to get away with it. But you have to have great experience with photos, colours, how the mind reacts certains things. Your trying to get the viewer to look at your piece (backgrounds) and get all the information within seconds, so the viewer knows where they are. Its also for a director who has a tight budget and wants a certain shot, with a dramatic or epic feel, they will hire a matte painter. For example Lord of the Rings!!

if you want to know more... mattepainting.org is a great site!!

Very nicely done Pete, it's like a world covered in green fungus lol, I was thinking maybe you could play somemore with the like and dark, like make a sun light beam coming through the clouds and to make that pop out more just darken the surronding areas, just a thought. good job man! :thumbsup:
:iconmagnumblade:
oh and you should show us the actual photo you used for the painting
:icondekus:
wow.. looks really cool! Very nice colors!

hmm.. 1st. its either the thumbnail-image or the painting is kinda blurry... add more sharpness in in..
2nd. the pic looks a bit too flat... add more atmosphere in it..
3rd. add more dramatic contrast and colors to it..

yeah thanks for your comment, your right about light entering in between the clouds, it would help with the atmosphere.
