Thank you!

Very nice! How did you do those destructed buildings? Did you paint them or did you use photo references?

#8

Here is a little making of.

I created a grayscale picture with costume brushes (step 2nd) and I put it over the city layer. Set the opacity 45% and overlay mode (step 3rd). After that I painted over some parts (step 4th).

Very cool kbarts, I really like it.
I have been thinking of doing something similar to this and you just inspired me to start, I hope mine turns out as well as yours did.
Also, thanks for the making of you posted; I found it to be helpful. I really enjoyed your gallery as well, my favorite was ā€œHunter of the Pacific ocean.ā€ Great stuff Kbarts!

Heh, funny that we both came up with the same solution without each othersā€™ knowledge. I did that grunge overlay trick on that neonoir matte Iā€™m working on. Except I used color textures of rust and such, instead of grayscale. I found it gives the buildings some interesting color variations.

kbarts: Thanks you for your kindness! :slight_smile:

That wip opened my eyes, although it is something simple, but I have not try matte paintings before. This is a really good way to start. :slight_smile:

Thanks alot! Appreciated it.
