Next Photos

Here are the other two photos that wouldn't upload last night!

7. Added a lens flare and put it behind the final clouds layer to make it shine through.

8. Took the transparency on the background layer down to 92% instead of 100%. It made the whole image 20% cooler

That's it for now, keep checking back!!

Nebula Time

Hey guys! Sorry I've been late!

Here is what I've been working on in Photoshop. A Nebula background for a composite painting!

Yup that's right. And I'm posting my Work-In-Progress shots here. Here's the first set of them:

1. The beginning layer. A circle gradient

2. Added clouds and an angled color gradient to them, then made the layer properties themselves set to Overlay

3. Repeated last step, to increase colour and vibrancy.

4. Erased some patches. Then added Noise to look like space dust. Adjusted amount in the Levels dialogue box

5. Added more Noise to look like distant stars. Erased some patches to make it look more natural

6. Added more clouds to increase vibrancy even more

And I'm currently having errors with trying to upload the next few images, so I'll get them up later.

Keep checking back! This will be one cool image when finished!

Self-Directed, Let's Go Round Two!

Hello again everyone!

This time around, instead of doing just one matte painting, I'm going to be doing multiple ones instead.

I am currently researching the works of artists like Dylan Cole, Matthieu Raynault, and Yannick Dusseault. This should prove to be an interesting semester indeed!

Also, before I leave this post, I will share with you the image I came up with last semester:

Keep checking back everyone and hopefully you'll all see something you like!
