Description (thanks again to Czyrek for help with title)

Had this pop into my head, and wanted to give it a shot. Design practice for fantasy stuff. I want to call this a matte painting...but I doubt I am using that term right. But no matter, I imagine this as if I am designing a new World of Warcraft location or something. (yay)

I feel the foliage could use a bit of work...perhaps do a study later on. The basic rock texture is from [link] , but is not it entirely. Everything else was done by hand.

Studied a bit of composition a bit, and used rules of thirds several times in this. Hope you guys like it! Enjoy!

very pretty, but you should have just a little sunshine to put something in the sky.

Yeah, I suppose the sky could have a bit more detail to it.

The rule of thirds is such a good rule! I need to remember it

You did a really great job. I like your use of textures. The water and clouds also are very impressive Well done.

Temiree In reply to RedRodent [2008-01-23 18:30:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks bro. ^^ And this is my first time in a while that I did clouds by hand. Used a chalk brush for them at different sizes and opacities if you were wondering.

Temiree In reply to RedRodent [2008-01-24 00:51:55 +0000 UTC]

Ah okay. That's my strategy for doing lineart. If you ever have a hard time doing realistic foliage, clouds, or some other things, I suggest giving the chalk brush a shot. It has really helped me.

Did ya know if you hold shift and drag down with the brush tool, you'll get a perfectly vertical line? Same effect happens when holding shift and dragging left or right, except horizontal.

I learn most of my tips and tricks COMPLETELY by accident.
