Description This is an extended scene from one of my class assignments
It is a generic scene of the kantian "sublime". A character is witness to an awe inspiring landscape. etc

but its a goodin, technically I think one of my most profficient.
and my largest, at one stage it neared 1gb file size and was 10,000 pixels wide.
One of the best resources I have laid my hands on, "The Digital Matte Painting Hand Book" by David Mattingly is just wonderfull, comes with demo material, resource files including a lot of stock photography, to which I have some selected shots in here, castle textures for the kingdom in the sky. The building to the right is all my own personal collection.

Great exercise, hope you all appreciate the work .

5-6 days work.

You are so skillful in atmospheric scenery. I really enjoy seeing your use of colors as well. Can't believe this is considered as an "exercise" T_T Keep up your beautiful work

That's gorgeous, Marley. And interesting to see you experiment into new color palettes.
I hope you do not take this wrong, but the hills, the lonely horseman, de desolate plain with gigantic and otherworldly constructions ... all this made me think about the astounding artwork of Shadow of the Colossus.

Hats off once again, pal !

No worries at all, Pierre. I have never heard of this tittle so googling provided some stunning imagery, I can see the resemblance.

cheers for commenting.

A much much belated answer ...
I hope you are doing well. And as for Shadow of the Colossus, you MUST play it if you haven't. It was released as a PS2 game, and recently adapted to HD for PS3. And it ranks very high in my book among games that mix a fascinating world, a sweet-and-sour atmosphere, and deep questions immersed in the gameplay. A masterpiece.

I like it a lot, Marley. I think it illustrates the Kantian 'sublime' quite well, but that's not why I like it. I just like it because of the beauty and the depiction of another world than the one we live in.
