MP: for sale

[everlite]

Oh i see :) so it's not literally a matte painting for sale, hehe :)

Nice concept/spooky house, needs work on the composition, the lighting doesn't quite work, lots of hard shadows for a cloudy sky. Is that a photo filter i see? photo filters can be easily overdone and like most things are never a one click solution; gadient maps tend to work better. You need to pull back on the colour tint and try to introduce more subtle tones, you could have a nice bluey green backlight behind the house and a few subtle glows coming through one of the windows etc.

Still needs a little work but nice start :)

Yeh looking a lot better mate :) nice one. Though some of the rays might be just a subtle too hard, i'd be tempted to drop the opacity by around 10% and add a slight blur. Give some thought to the time of day and the colour of the sky reflecting this. At the moment, given the grey tint i kinda feels like a really overcast mid day. Adding a tint of blue and purples might give a more night look. If you have the trees on a seperate layer from the background continue the tree line from the right over to the left. Though take note to use bare trees, the one in the background looks out of season.

Overall really nice, glad you came back to this one :)

Dave.
