Description
A matte painting done in Photoshop.***
"My thanks to for the DD, and to all those who took the time to view, comment and favorite, I am truly grateful.. your generosity is proof of what a fine community we have here at D.A.
The original piece was 5680px x 3120px before cropping and resizing. A key image came from Coopgreg at stock.xchng, with the bulk of the rest coming from my own stock. The idea grew from a series of four thumbnail sketches, and took about 12 hours to paint, about half of which was spent tweaking minor details..."

Thanks... Matte painting is an effort to create realistic or hyper-realistic imagery, often using literal photographic materials and textures... you might find this interesting [link]
