(Press 'download' to see it full size ! )Hey guys !
It's been a while since my latest tutorial! Since a lot of people asked me to do a tutorial about this specific artwork, I tried to take some time to do it. In this tutorial, you will find some techniques I use in complex images that have to include photo-realistic elements ( matte paintings). Those include relighting, color grading, as well as how I use a 3D base in my paintings.
If there is anything you would like to know and that wasn't answered in this tutorial, feel free to write me a comment under the image, or send me an email at Exphrasis@live.fr.
I will do my best to answer your questions as soon as possible, and as well update this tutorial if required.
I hope you will learn a lot from this !
Have a nice day, and good luck with your art.
-Geoffrey

This was awesome - I like the way you do your tutorials, because it doesn't seem like you're just flaunting off and bragging :].
I didn't realize you used so many tools and references though O-o you're so skilled with using so many different techniques to create one, visually astound, realistic piece - and that's just awesome!
Kudos :3 I'll have to start studying life more //salute.

hehe I try my best 
Well yeah, people don't realise that it's ok to use references and as many tools as you need. People don't care if you use this or that tool, they only care about the result. Of course, if you take a picture and just paint a black spot on it and claim it's fully painted, that's not good, but hey who does that anyways.
Studying helps, like a huuuge lot !!!

I'll keep that in mind x].
I'm lucky to have a friend in art school so I can be reminded of what needs work 24/7 X_X! But this was a huge help too - it's really cool to have such a laid back tutorial. I like it :]

T'as fait les building au complet toi-même ou tu as utilisé quelque chose pour les générer ? Looks badass.

C'est marqué dans le tuto, j'ai utilisé le plugin ' Greeble ', qui en gros rajoute des sortes de carrés, un peut comme sur l'étoile noire.

Hehe merci, content que ca serve

C'est sympa d'avoir mis ça en ligne et de voir ta façon de bosser ! C'est intéressant ! Perso, j'ai pas bien compris la phase entre les volumes basiques 3D et la phase où tu as rajouté plein de détail dessus mais sinon c'est clair et tes mots de fin sont très vrais! Continues surtout !

Merci
En gros la phase de rendu, j'ai simplement rendu les batiments sans 'ciel ', donc avec la transparence. Ensuite, j'ai changé les contrastes en utilisant un calque ' courbes' sur le quel j'ai mit le masque de Zdepth que j'ai rendu dans le moteur 3D.
Enfin, j'ai placé par dessus des photos de moteurs sur un calque ' pin light', etc
