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!

Fantastic work, when you whant a painting to turn out right, it may take time. Any kind of realistic good quality paintings may take days and nights, months or even years. However when you're finally done!, its worth the while after so much work haha.
I can really see this painting move, and hear it...(my mind is wild so bare with me haha).

The water seems kind of lined. Other than that it's really good, though.

This turned out spectacular! I noticed all your intricate details in all the buildings and surrounding environment. Great monster and ship with all the motion blurs too. The special efx in the sky is a very nice touch.
