Attempt to matte painting

Another update!

This is a attempt to create a "matte painting"

This is a parole used in movies or games or generally effects in any digital medium..

Matte P. are supposed to look photoreal, but are in fact non existant locations...

So here you are.

Added soe colors to enhance the moodiness....
Well I guess its finished... dometing is missing... and I cant point the finger to it... weird....

Hey there!
This is a piece that I just did... Im not happy with the composition at the moment. In my opinion, theres something missing in the foreground....
I was inspired by jamie jones and a piece that he did.

Couldnt resist, some more character thumbnails....

I dont know, if Ill develop them into a more refined concept...

Regards
JD

Teacher Mentor character design

Heres a new character design that I just drew... pheww this was lot of effort...

Next piece will be some environmental work I guess...

Hope you like some of it....

Good exercise!!!!

Figures

Some figures all done without reference, and from the mind.... I did them from left to the right....I must say it is evident,that when focusing on something it is indeed worth doing a couple of sketches and tryouts....

Inspired by an other artist called Andrew Jones....

It was really fun, to be so loose with the brush....
