Description

"Elysia is one of the planets everyone knows when you're talking about it. There's no person that has not seen one of the amazing sunsets, at least on a photo. The 'paradise of the universe' was it called once in a news article. People living and working there mostly to serve the tourists. You can do everything there! enjoy the forests. Enjoy mountain climbing. Take a trip down the golden rivers that swirl over the planets surface like veins of blood. I wished i could visit this place for only one time. But all i have is a photo... and my wish."

Technically i worked with a terragen render to get me a base to work with. The rest is pure photoshop.

terragen. wacom, photoshop, 30hrs, 5000px wide, 250mb psd

Sense of scale and perspective is quite strong in this piece. Main building holds firm to mountain side, it works well in conjuction with the rock and ground formation acting as a man-made extention of the naturally crafted mountain. After looking over main structure it seems to be powered by geothemal activity, since there is a pipe that extends into ground. City scape off to left, faded due to the atmosphere allowing only a hint of its' true size. An even more subtle structre is barely visable off to right, where only a light on a tower is all that is visable of it. Rays of light passing across land and sky is a tad too sharp on edges, slight blend into surrounding could benefit that area. Cloud cover is well developed in distance, but as it comes nearer it becomes some-what flat or layered. Area where clouds extend outward looks as though it were a phoenixs' head and clouds are the wings.

impresive, the clouds look a lil off, or atleast the portion by the two moons. Seems as if they just stop in a straight line, I think the edge of the cloud would have a lil more texture or tansition differently. Just my opinion, this is an amazing matte!

Nice work. But the clouds at top right needs more work and definition for a matte painting; they still feel a bit like on the concept art phase.
