#6

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 “Hunter of the Pacific ocean.” Great stuff Kbarts!

Heh, funny that we both came up with the same solution without each others’ knowledge. I did that grunge overlay trick on that neonoir matte I’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.
