Now where can I buy that painting.. hehe!

Really great work.. I wouldn't mind framing one in my living room!

If it weren't for the fog near the middle of the picture, I wouldn't believe that this isn't a photograph. Excellent job.

The fog in the distance is good. But the mountain on the right seems to fade into the distance too soon, but other than that, this is a perfect piece.

[adonihs]

hahaha this is so cool, because I made a matte painting with this photo from www.sxc.hu (http://www.sxc.hu) also! =D rgeat job

[EdySusanto]

cool ^^ the fog looks really nice

[TKraccoon]

You did a wonderful job with the texturing of the mountains, and especially with the foilage--very high levels of details, can't stop looking at them! :love:Mist might want to be a bit thicker around the waterfall area though instead of being so far back with the rest of the humidity. I do like how you faded the mountains with the background sky. Also, the points on the left clif face at the top seem a bit too bright compared to the rest of the image (though it could be that I'm on a laptop which has a bright LCD). I don't want to sound like an ass , as it's far better than anything I have made, but these are just some things I noticed :)

[Psotek]

This is beautiful. Pozdrowienia z Kanady! :D

[3DDave]

Were you inspired by Yosemite Falls and the works of Thomas Moran?

Nice Job.

[siouxfire]

Wow! That's a beautiful scene - how big was the original you made?

[DAREONER]

:eek: :eek: :eek: wonderfull

[Skjoldbroder]

looks very nice, dude. excellent attention to detail - the only thing that to me jars a bit are the plants in the foreground. I think it's the details in them, the blots seem to be bigger there than the details on the rocks in the middleground, so there's a bit of confusion as to scale.

imho, anyways.

great work!

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Its beautifull and very impressive !!! :thumbsup:

[SUN]

:thumbsup: Great Work:thumbsup:
The rocks rocks:buttrock: :)

[MoonVisionStudio]

Amazing painting!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[CptObvious]

>Were you inspired by Yosemite Falls and the works of Thomas Moran?

3DDave, I've checked this falls and yes , this falls were the main reference for the picture. I just didnt knew their names.

The original dimension of the picture is 4000 of width, but when starting the painting I was working on 2x lower size (big brushes, my machine couldn't hadle it), then when I've started with details I changed its size.

Plaf, you might be right, I didn't put attention on that earlier. I did decided to finish the picture on a stage as U see now, I could of course gone more with the details and work and consider every pixel, but I just got no more strength to do that. Still must get back to Grand opera picture and lot of more stuff to do.

Anyway great thanks for comments! I really didnt supposed U gonna like it so much :)

[tweety]

TIGER1313: great piece of work! :thumbsup:
my opinion is on max3d so you know what im thinking ;)

[thesuit]

not really into those enviroment pics but this one is truly an eye-catcher...

[Tilstrom]

Amazing work mate, this is insane. :D

[FitArtistSF]

Wow! I love the use of Atmospheric Perspective. The mist of the water rising in the middle distance is spot on. The whole scene reminds me of the Hudson Valley School of landscape artists of the Romantic Period of the 19th century. Somebody did their homework. Very well done!!!

[miloszwl]

Moje gratulacje. Swietny klimat i kolorystyka. Ma w sobie ta, uwielbiana przeze mnie, nutke mistycyzmu i tajemniczosci. Wszystko wyglada bardzo realistycznie, a ciekawa kompozycja przyciaga wzrok na dlugo. Poziom detali i tekstur na bardzo przyzwoitym poziomie. 5+ :)

[ribok7]

wow :thumbsup: this is really impressive,Could you perhaps post a higher res (1280-1024) so I can use it for my desktop.This is one of the nicest digital "paintings" I have ever seen :)

[rawgon]

excellent skill in your painting, feels like acrylics to me, the fog gives it a cool depth, and the trees are amazing! im going to check out your site...
btw, what canvas resolution did you use?

[SystemId]

from skratch ? Very impressive man ! >: ( surrender your power to me!

[Corrosity]

close to the original, i like the depth with fog in your picture which the photo not has ;-)

[CptObvious]

XR666 yes this was the one. I couldnt find it just got lost somewhere in my reference stock.
I alos used this for front rocks:
http://www.eyestruggle.com/upload/wodosp003.jpg

Btw, I see that someone already did used the picture for mattes :)

[-NG-]

OMG!! This is just :thumbsup: :eek: Now these are the things that really inspire me to keep on studying and learning CGI at school so that one day i can post such a artwork here:)

This just gives me a new load of Photoshop power.....starting the program....

[loocas]

Absolutely amazin! I've always loved paintings, especially those which were made in PS ;) I like the rock textures, the sky and the foliage/trees in the picture! Very well done! http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_5.gif from me man! :thumbsup:

[adonihs]

But wheres the original photo? The one I used to! Because I know theres one =) Looks identicle to this, par the opening you gave in the mountains..unless you based this off of the real location of course!

[phoenix]

very nice work man

[yolk]

yes,this 's good

[Logan769]

WOW... if you realy did that form scratch i'm speech less. that is nice!

[faridz7]

damnitttttt..makes me wanna speed up my learning process on 3d matte paintings..lol, slow down dude so i catch up! great work!

[HellBoy]

wow, the texture on those stones are awesome, great :thumbsup: 5starts & half

[overcontrast]

this is cool.. amazing work man... ur really talented.. keep up the ood works

[Christoph_H84]

Extremingly beautiful picture. I just love that peaceful atmosphere, still having all of that small detail going on, e.g. the birds, the waterfall. But there's something threatening this quite situation as the clouds indicate. So it's really on the edge between an ideal peaceful moment and the storm to come. Truely gives your image depth by means of context, although you may not have planed it or I'm just misinterreting it.

Anyway, great picture and awesome work on the rocks!

[Markski]

Amazing work! Every aspect of it is very near photorealistic! (Go Poland!)

[kenwas]

Fine work. The foliage is awesome.

[pradeepkhekare]

You have done a fantastic work. Very pleasent scene with lots of details and depth.

[sxsgm]

so nice! I like it!

[redneckstudio]

Awesome work. The misty look is cool. What's happening on the left cliff?
Looks mysterious.

[3dflashart]

I Think So~~~

[Tasty]

amazing work!

[Spc]

Amazing atmosphere!
This picture is simply amazing.

:eek:

[ANTIFAN]

Great image Tiger! :D

[Emmanuel Rodrigues]

great job man, really very nice! :thumbsup:

[asblaze]

Congratulationis :) I'm impresed :) SeeYa on Max3d site ;)

[TCAB]

Great piece! Looks photo realistic. It shows that a great matte still use many traditional painting techniques to create the illusion of realism. This is masterly carried out in this matte - very detailed.

[bumbleb]

if this truly is a painting done from scratch, well done, it's beautiful. As a matte painter it is fundamental to have illustration skills. Most matte paintings today are built with photos, this coupled with your traditional eye will set you above other matte artists in the industry. Look forward to seeing your efforts :)

[Ryoka]

Amazing matte painting !!! cool !

[bkboggy]

*drools*.............*still drooling*.........*will post a comment when will stop drooling*....

[mdwsr]

All in PS? This is amazing work, I can't see any way to improve it.

[Saur]

Very nice,I like it very much

[Ranath]

for those who were asking for the ref, some guy posted this over sijun.
[/url]
Looks pretty close to me, though I'm not questioning the painting - he said it's matte painting and real matte painter would have used the photo as a part of his painting, not just look reference.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/Sir_Ranath/pic.jpg[url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/Sir_Ranath/pic.jpg"] (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/Sir_Ranath/pic.jpg)

[snwbrdn7]

Another fine matte painting. Incredible skills. One question???? What are the black silhouettes on the cliff tops to the right? Are they orcs or something?:thumbsup:

[Sirius2010]

WOW....

:thumbsup:

[Ecleposs]

its my BG now
keep the good work up :)

[Jadan]

Fantastic! Feels like I'm home in Colorado, instead of California.
Ho hum...
-cheers

[jordancheng]

Very true!The elephant photograph is similar!

[snakeagle]

Exellent work...
I just can't believe what I've seen...

[mogla]

lovely rock faces and fog - great work! got any refs?

[Ghost23]

That is simply breath taking, just how long did it take you exactly? Incredible job, major pat on the back!

[VanZandt]
