Description
Heya,I can finally post this one!
It's one of 4 paintings that I did for a client from the US. He is an actor named Matthew Ewald and has become a very close friend.
My work on this project began almost 2 years ago! Not many pieces were created during this time, but some of the most time-consuming ones I ever did! It's been sheer fun up to this day.
So far, it's a project in developement, a Sci-Fi/Horror saga called 'The Lost Landers' all written by Matthew.
This painting depicts a key confrontation scene in this tale.
It was meant to resemble New York, I checked some reference to get it all right. Everything except for the ship was painted in PS 7.
Inititally, the ship had a different design but was changed in the process for different reasons.
The new ship design, an alien tech-modified, highly-maneuverable Space Shuttle with the catchy name 'Astronautica' was modelled and rendered before I placed it into the scene.
Also, you should know that this painting is pretty old already. Any resemblance to Cloverfield is coincidental because that film wasn't even released by the time this was done!
So, I hope you enjoy!
Another painting will follow!

Amazing as always man! its great to see you on the daily deviations! Congrats!
A doubt I've always had is... how do you achieve such perfect perspective, straight lines without a flaw! Those buildings and all of it detail is amazing!
Well done!

Whoah, reminds me of Cloverfield. Nice job, because the monster looks creepy. You know, I always believed that we will get killed by giant monsters. Eventually.

Nice! The detail in this is amazing. I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you remember the size of the image canvas you painted this in? I'm trying to get a feel for painting scenery, too, but I can never figure out how large I have to go to get this level of detail.
