hi all .here is my new mattepainting .it’s a official yamun in the mountain.i paint the snow on those building .
and until now i usually “matte” a lot but less “painting” .i mean ,what i do just search photoes and take them together ctrl+m ctrl+u ctrl+t… then i finished the work.even draw nothing .
i don’t konw why. the more i draw the strange i feel .i’m not sure where should i paint .have you ever like this ?
any attitude suggestion or direction is ok 
hope hear you:)
hi, ! welcome to this forums.
well I think you have eye for a nice mood and colors but you need to work more in order to have a Final matte painting, you need to paint lots of detail, that takes time but it is actually fun to paint, for example what about the roof tiles? each one of them with snow , and some other without it, also some sun light over the temple would help it to stand out
composition might need some tweaks as well, maybe a smaller temple in general, and some more mountain detail below it and around it
keep it up !
hi.james ,you are really warmhearted. thanks for your help.the matte painting of mine it’s looks like more than a draft not a mapping. yes ,i need do more work ,keep it up.
and here is another latest mapping of mine .then i need cooldown to think about all of yours suggestion ,keep it up.
wow this is a big improvement ! great looking image , this looks actually like a first pass professional matte painting, very well done, you followed my tips and you got some awesome results! there are still some issues with perspective only in some parts of the architecture, the juxtaposition of the far tower and the down left rock could have a little bit more space, the far tower could be closer to the temple to the center of the image, just make sure you have some space between those strong composition elements
very good man you have done well!
keep pushing it till your eye tells you it’s done
Yeah man, this is an incredible improvement. One thing I think is missing from this version, and ignore my comment if this is what you already were planning on doing, is I miss the lighting contrast you had in the first image… I think that’s something that almost always makes any type of painting go from good to great, is when you have subjects go in and out of light and shadow… I really liked the gesture of lighting on the first one, I think you should keep that as part of your theme here. Looking really good, keep on moving forward with it!
