CHECK OUT THE PHOTO I STARTED WITH: [link] by `freezejeans (i have full permission to use the image)

DΒ³SCR!PTION

The meaning of the pic is to show the kind of path we're all going. On the left side we have the oldish, familiar looking environments. While on the right we have the monstrous huge futuristic city that seems to literally eat the people, their lives and lets them appear soooo small that they almost don't count anymore. The old bridge is a kinda symbole to show that both parts are still connected and that only you alone decide to take that walk into the future or not.

On the other hand... it's just a cool sci-fi based artwork.

TECHN!CAL DETA!LS

First of all i want to tell those super critique folks that this pic is far from perfect, i know that. There's, once again, lots of experimental stuff in it. It's very different to the stuff i ever did before. Basically it's a very big huge mo0onster photo manipulation. You ask yourself why it's call matte 'ainting' then. That's what i ask myself too sometimes lol. But it's true. In some ways it is a painting. In others not. Since you work with a tablet and pen... you first block in all the stuff you want to have in your pic. That's the painting part. Once you nailed down the composition and main elements, you move into the manip part and the painting work takes a step back. Once the manip part is done, you move into painting again to add detail where it's necessary. Todays digital matte painting is a variety of mediums. From usual photos to high detail 3d to excellent paintings... all combined in a single pic.

digital matte painting, wacom, photoshop, 40hrs, 3500px wide, 300dpi, 110mb psd

Sehr geil! Ich find das richtig perfekt gelungen - die Einarbeitung der Brooklyn Bridge und der Übergang zum futuristisch-modernen ist dir super gelungen!
Hat eine sehr schΓΆne Wirkung - ein sofortiger Stern ist hier fΓ€llig!

Ist das da ein Citroen C5?


Was mich nur etwas stutzig macht ist, dass die Bremsleuchten des Autos leuchten, obwohl der (zumindest scheint es mir so) Fahrer draußen am Auto lehnt.
Oder ist das auch schon die Zukunft? *g*


Su-per Ar-beit! (Bindestriche zwecks Betonung!)

I dunno, that city looks kinda cool to live in.
Also, we already have buildings that look sorta like that today. It's getting harder to draw futuristic-looking buildings, methinks.

The shadow of the car is a bit weird (looks like it's floating, a bit), and the foliage looks like it's been feathered. Two very small nitpicks in an huge piece though.. which means that everything else is quite good/believable. Nice work!

I see the whole picture like you say it, "The old bridge is a kinda symbole to show that both parts are still connected and that only you alone decide to take that walk into the future or not." - good.
I also like to watch these kind of pictures, cause i see life in it. it aint just a photo or matte painting, it haves lots of little things to admire. in the wholeness i really like it and my opinion is that is almost perfect!
keep up the good work!

I just don't what to say.
Not replying to this kind of master-work would be very insulting of me.

I love it a lot, the way you connected both, the photo and teh futirstic painting, you did it Well!
You have talent, and skill.

Keep it up, i love your work!

Very nice, i love it. I find futuristic buildings hard to draw.. i don't know why.

I like the small touches, like the mountain isn't hugely noticeable but is very nice, and the tree in the foreground also adds to the image.
