I've been ill the last few days, and literally bed ridden. I've worked on this on and off when I've mustered the energy to do so. One thing I've learned is never to work on something while you have a fever - I must have changed this art piece SO many times >.<
Anyhow, I'm done now. Digital paint, and photomanipulation - again going for a Matte Painting. Hopefully I'm improving!
I really love the concept of this a lot. Its a great dive into practicing with matte. With a close up look of this, the only major problem I seen was with the lighting. It would give that excellent impact to finish off this piece. I can't complain at all about the technique since it looks like you did a good job with getting all of the elements to look almost seemless. So it brings me back to the main point of lighting. With a great job in blending all of the pieces together, it has a great lack of light source. It seems from some of the structures that the light source is off to the left? Possibly next time, try to put markers to show which direction your sun/light is coming from to help shade. Just a little more into the painting and lighting will greatly improve an already fantastic technique you have here.
I love it. Really great placement of each item, and the overall design really sparks my interest Oh, and I feel like adding something I learned in geography class. Those hills on the left, they have terrace farming on them. The way that the hill is cut in to, to make it look like steps. lol, just felt like mentioning. Back to the artwork. Love the boat, and the waterfalls are awesome.
couple of point that have me wondering... the roof, immediate foreground on the left; wouldn't that be too close to have fog partly obscuring it? i'm also having a bit of a problem following the waterfalls; granted the more distant ones could be disappearing in hidden canyons but the one in the front-right seems to be coming from the top of the cliff which appears to be higher than the wall behind it.
