Description
After getting the town, dragons attack the castle. A few of those who had seen the town's demise from afar manage to escape the skirmish and move to the mountains.Inspired by many of the stunning fantasy landscape paintings that can be seen on this site. Thanks a lot to those artists and to the stock providers!

Heehee that was my very first attempt at something like a matte painting, it's a bit all over the place but I still like it to this day.
Thanks a lot!

How you do matte painting, do you apply destaurated or pale colors?Because I really like it

Rowye In reply to WhimsicalBlue [2016-11-15 09:48:17 +0000 UTC]
I'm usually not the most realistic matte painter out there, I do focus on depth and light a lot, most often I don't worry too much about colors besides making all the photos fit with each other. Then towards the end of the process I'll check the colors and fix them up a bit or paint some like on this one... Also I play with Nik's (free) Color Efex plug-in at the end, that usually helps it if I do it right. Thanks for the compliment!

Heehee thank you! Was kind of my first attempt at something close to a matte painting... probably still too fantastic or glowy to qualify.

But a tremendous polishing work! In terms of rendering/fine lines, the piece is 100% perfect -- no brushstrokes, no untextured places.
