Cleopatra Queen of Egypt

To begin with, I always wanted to create a matte painting with the famous Taj Mahal monument from India. This project was also a great occasion to do something different than usual, not dark and scary but beautiful and hopeful. So, I found an interesting photo from my trip to India and just start to reshape it slowly during free time. The overall work was a bit chaotic because I had no ideas where I was
going until I decided to do an Egyptian theme, inspired by one of the movies from Dreamworks, The Prince of Egypt.

It finally end-up with this image which is a mix of 3D geometry, photos manipulation and digital painting. It was also a great opportunity to do a special collaboration with the 3D illustrator RainFeatherPearl who did an amazing 3D Cleopatra and a few props. Cleopatra Queen of Egypt was done on and off into a period of 7 weeks, including the collaboration and few photo shoot sessions. Different
part of this image was done with 3D softwares but mainly in Photoshop CS3.

Very nice, but isn't this kind of a remake of the famous painting 'Dawn Invocations' from the 80s, by Gilbert Williams? [link]
