Alice: Madness Returns matte painting

One of the background pieces I did for the third game trailer (see previous post for more info).

Hi Lukasz,

I was really impressed with your cloud matte painting. Whilst I'm a photographer at heart my work is heavily influenced by Photoshop, and I've reached a point that I'd like to learn matte painting techniques to incorporate into my photography.

Could you please point me in the direction of any good tutorials, in particular with respect to painting clouds? Or alternatively can you offer any tips?

Many thanks,

Matthew,

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for kind words. You've got some really nice work up on your site, especially portraits.
Regarding matte paintings, I haven't really followed any special training here, I rely on skills and exprience gathered while working on traditional paintings & drawigns and working from nature (as opposed from photos). Perhaps you should take look at gnomon workshop DVDs, they've got a lot of pro stuff and I think I saw DVDs about matte paintings too:
