Golden Sunrise in Fairy Land (WIP)

#5

Jaime! Thank you very much for your opinion! :buttrock: :bounce: :buttrock:
Really and absolutly agree with you. I’ll try to make the final version more photorealistic and less than illustration :slight_smile: :beer:

#6

hey , I didn’t say it was not photoreal it is pretty cool actually, I just adviced that with some camera effects like depth of field, a bit of film grain and all those camera effects, it will look definitely awesome and photoreal like taken out from a movie shot !

#11

Thanks, MileDream!

#12

Not bad at all EyeSeeBlack!
Completely agree with Jaime’s comments. I would actually lose the horse and rider altogther. A little light bloom on the foreground elements and some of that mist coming into play at the base of the rocks on the right to tie it all together and it will be a really nice job!
Thanks for sharing!

A very nice painting. I particulalry like the palette.
I have dabbled in matte painting but Im never sure how or where to obtain ref images.
Can you give some idea where you obtained the images for this piece?

Hi, Matellis! :slight_smile: This is a Richard’s I monument )))
Thank you! :slight_smile:

Ok,

Pretty :slight_smile:

The black levels are varying across the painting especially in the foreground. Remember things further away are lighter and knocked back compared to foreground. Check the fence to the bottom left as an example.

Different hot points on the castle, white, yellow, orange? uniform them a little, especially where they’re angled towards the same direction.

The lighting around the castle is pretty, but in some areas reminds me of a 1970s dance floor. See the foreground element, left.

Background mountains are a little bland, very flat, could do with a little more definition.

Purely asthetics but … is that knight stranded? poor horse :slight_smile: looks like he’s about to take a very big leap of faith!

One tree with leaves another without?

Waterfall to the right looks very painterly.

Why do i see so many paintings that are over sharpened and finished with a photoshop film grain?

Background sky looks nice, and over all pleasing composition, though you could do with bringing the castle more to the center, just a little.

Not bad, but could be refined :slight_smile:

Dave.

The horse and rider is a statue i think…?:shrug:

this piece has a bit of a lotr rivendell feel to it…

#22

Yes, this is monument. Look at final ref.
Rivendell? Hmmm, I don’t think so.

#23

Yeah you’re right, it just reminded me a little of this http://www.dusso.com/images/mp02/MP45.jpe for some reason, don’t know why heh…

good job :slight_smile:
