Here is my BG plate ( just using the left hand side) and here is my concept which I have worked into and had to stop before I got too carried away - does anyone else have that?
Going for a kind of slummy, dirty future. I’m hoping I can make this look real and not still a concept - I guess that’s the challenge!

Couldn’t agree more, fantastic plate and epic concept sketch can’t wait to see it progress! Well done 
I agree… hoping you can push this through to a more refined version too because the concept is friggin’ awesome and I want to see the finished matte painting. I do know what you mean about possibly getting carried away sometimes, but I like all the nitty-gritty detail here, Tim. Put it this way: my rule of thumb over the years has been that if I feel slight pangs of jealousy when I look at another artist’s painting? Then I know it’s because there’s a level of (potential) bad-assness there that I can’t help liking.

Cheers Thaddeus and cheers guys. Hmmm running out of time again - I spent aaaaages adding in details to make the tower block look more of a shanty dwelling before I remembered CG textures, which has loads of asian tower blocks! Doh! I am learning that matte painting is about saving time where you can as much as adding detail elsewhere. This month is going to be tight, still got a way to go…
