yeah, I am not currently very good in using crumbling or destroyed looks, but i will work on it and yes, i wanted the mayan render too look very abstract, and mysterious

[Bob_Magic]

Tonight I will work on a painting and show it to you tommorow, Hopefully it will be a nice surprise

Well keep at it mate, practise makes perfect, then you can develop to making bigger changes etc...

[Bob_Magic]

ok thanks, Got any tips or hints (links maybe) that can send me in the right direction? I really liek some of your works, I wanna see the outcomes I can create myself. Using different coloring and Gradient maps etc etc,

I've seen some very creative Final Fantasy works
eg. this one
NOT MINE

Ok when setting the mood it is all about the colours darkness and lightness.

best example ever is the Matrix' 'the whole matrix is set with a green tint, and the real world was set with a blue tint'

So if you can work on a very slight tint it will make a big difference.

- And always have this in mind, Matte Paintings are to fool the eye for Films, TV programs etc... so 'keep it realistic' and think if it looks like a life situation.

Take your time, thats very important, and always check your composition. Whether its inline. If its straight up etc...

- Also one last thign really. Make your Mate Painting interesting! Really go for it but keep in mind what i've said (Or well typed :P)

[Lighting and shadows are very important too, so keep an eye out for those]

Ah i see what you Mean, like the Brown-Gold lighting in 300?
I'll get to work and post my result

[Puff]

Yes exactly, its such an effective technique and brings up such dramatic results. Like in my work, the simple tutorial matte it had a dark blue tint, my scorpion has a orange yellow tint. Makes a big difference.

from this



Is that a better result than the others?

The light blue HG:L render doesn't fit the the background so well!

Great wallpaper. The only bad thing I can say about it, is that it has nothing to do with the website. Other than that its awesome.
