That's just fucking amazing. Excellent work on atmosphere and shading, I'm horribly impressed. AWESOME detail shadows for the grass too, and the grass itself looks great. I took a look at this and fixed up my own grass in my recent pic. Excellent work man.

Wow...Jeez, I wish I knew how to do this matte painting stuff. Looks like so much fun... I wish I had the money to get one of those tutorial DVDs made by Dylan Cole. XD Anywayz, this looks totally awesome! I love the sea shells and the way you did the clouds. Wonderful work!

it's so awesome, but the grass paintbrush take away from it. You should have done the grass differently. it looks like it's just on top of it.

chrisbeaver In reply to Luvcnkll [2005-10-16 06:53:57 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I'm more than willing to listen, if you have better ideas on how to do grass.
