WIP : some matte painting

[Ivy00]

welcome :) pretty cool matte painting and I don't think the tentacles look like toothpaste ha ha

Here is an update. The 3d buildings are re-oriented to match the perspective and global image lighting. A little bit more tentacles on the opera, and the blue fringing of the opera's towers has been cleared, same with the green color around the crows. And finally some bright white elements have been erased.

This is a very unique and interesting concept, and I cannot wait to see it finished!

The only thing that's bugging me is that there is still a lot of blue on the opera house that was reflecting from the original blue sky. Now that you don't have any blue sky or anything blue to reflect, it leaves the opera house looking out of place with the background. You may want to go and adjust your color settings in Photoshop (If that's what you're using. :) ) or go in and manually repaint the blue shadows on the opera house. Otherwise it's coming along very nicely!! :D

Ooookay, here is a less-blue less-green opera !

Some people told me that I had a background (3rd plan), a 2nd plan, but not a foreground.
I wonder what I could put in the composition, the picture as it has been taken doesn't offer many possibilites.
I'm afraid of putting tentacles in the water, the effect seems quite difficult to produce.

You can try to draw some tentacles getting out of water close to the dock (easier to handle) and suggest tentacles under the surface of water by playing with the opacity and the fusion mode. Also distort them according to the waves (refraction).
Otherwise... "it's a good beginning"©
