Description
This image was created for a competition on [link] , where the objective was to turn the following concept art into a photorealistic matte painting: [link]The contest was fun and very challenging. I worked a good 50 hours on my entry and there are still many things I'd like to change but I just can't work on it anymore and time until deadline has run out anyway.
You can also find a couple of wip pictures in this thread: [link]
I don't expect to win anything, but I learned a lot during the process and now I have a cool piece in my gallery. It will also be part of my 2013 calendar.
Hope you like it!

How does one manipulate clouds like that? Are there certain tools? Or did you paint it all using a brush?

In essence I used tons of different photos, selecting only certain areas of the cloud and transforming it to get the perspective right. Then you have to adjust the color and contrast to blend it appropriately. It helps a lot to use only photos with similar lighting conditions, but it will still take plenty of time and patience!
This set contains some brushes which can mimic clouds, I used them to improve the blending of the various photos: www.deviantart.com/art/My-Brusβ¦

Ahh I see, thanks a bunch for your help, I was trying to make clouds by brushes alone, I guess that didn't turn out too well especially with MY painting skills hahahaha.
