wow cool,
I wasnt too good on the last challenege bogged down at work and then this pain in the ass freelance job (bit off more than i could chew). So I want to do this one right!!!
But first i’ll have to brush off the cobwebs off wacom and find the pen. I guess i’ll have to cut my BF2 gaming time down to a lean 10hours a week, dam this is going to affect my rank.
IN THE NAME OF ART.

Well, considering it was my idea to do an underwater matte… I guess I would have to do it.
ps; My ideas are sometimes over zealous to my skill but I will give it my best!
cool…great topic…:+) yeah i would also like to know on what resolution to do the image?
The final rez for a typical, no zoom is 2k or 2048 pixels wide… though you may want to work double that rez and and scale it down for the finished to compress detail. The height is all based on what film aspect your going for 1:2.35 or 1:1.85 or something else. Hope that helps. If you plan to print for portfolio work or whatever make sure you set a high dpi like 250-300.
great ideer, not so sure about the theme, u must be fans of modern talking… Atlantis is calling an SOS for love… 
im in 
yay!!
this is a really cool idea
i rekon will all the mini challanges around htere should be a mini box under the avator to have the mini challange awards too that would be cool…
any ways…all have fun

hey guys talking about resolution riktor is right, please try do your final images in film aspect, HD , 2k , 1:85 etc, 16:9 , final images must be not bigger than 1280 pixels wide good luck to everyone, I;ve been talking with the panel of judges and they are excited and waiting for cool images !
OK, this may be a technicality in the rules but…The lost city of Atlantis didn’t start out underwater. It sunk. so, if we choose to do the city as “living” wouldn’t it be above water? If it were built underwater, there would’ve been domes or the “people” living there would’ve been mermaids. Since this is an underwater matte painting, are we allowed to modify the city to be domed? I’m assuming the answer is yes, but wanted to make sure.
Thanks

@ MirageGraphics: yeah it didn’t start underwater but who knows maybe it started underwater it is a legend so who knows, the rule is underwater civilization based on atlantis legend or the ruined city that we all know about
Oh wow!! such a cool idea! I would love to enter but probably won’t as I don’t stand a chance XD.
Finally you did it… great start for this challenge!
Now I’ll have some inspiration and after that, I’ll start a thread. Thanks for your efforts, James!

This sounds like an awesome challenge! Of course it it comes up before I go on vacation, I guess I’ll have to get some ideas sketched down while I’m unplugged for a week. 
I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff can come out of this challenge!
Cool challenge and a great opportunity to investigate the amazing world of matte paintings. Good luck to everybody!I´m sure you´ll make wonderful works:thumbsup:
