So i was going for a portrait setup&#8230; instead of a cinemascope one. Though i prefer the cinemascope crop. Whatever. There&#8217;s actually no big story behind that pic. I started to work with some of my new mountain stocks which i got from a trip into the alps recently. Stitched together some photo elements and extended them with paintings. With lots of scifi stuff from me in the past&#8230; this pic should be a nice addition to my gallery. Since it&#8217;s more fantasy based.<\/p>\n<p><strong> TECHN!CAL DETA!LS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I guess you could call this thing a digital matte painting. I wouldn&#8217;t do so. It&#8217;s a strange mixture of pure painting and pure matte painting. Well i, at least, can tell that i worked a lot with matte painting techniques. The top of the mountain is a complete extension. The path in front is 80% painted. I did not work too much into detail on that path in front since too much detail would have stolen the show the background actually gives you. Again i tried lot of new things and i think i got a acceptable result.<\/p>\n<p>creation visualization: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tigaer-design.com\/projects\/nvale\/prog.jpg\">[link]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>print detail preview: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/deviation\/41948836\/\">[link]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>30hrs &#8211; intuos3 &#8211; photoshop &#8211; 5500px high &#8211; 300dpi &#8211; project folder: 1.8gb &#8211; psd: 460mb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D\u00c2\u00b3SCR!PTION This one was actually intended to be a fantasy novel book cover.
