I use Painter IX.5 alongside Photoshop for a lot of these.

Pretty good painting. Wonder how you would do by using Corel Painter. I think your images would just get better.

wow you've only been painting for a year and you're this good. damn i need to practice a lot. there's not a lot digital painters or matte painters here in london though I found a couple of really good ones. anyway thanks for the link. maybe you can post a tutorial for us beginners, i could really use some painting techniques. thanks again

I've been using Photoshop for about 4 years now but I've only been painting for a year or so. Heres some other guys you should check out -

Man you must be a pro. I'm new to this website and i've been browsing the gallery and I noticed most of your works are great. I'm trying to learn matte painting although i've been drawing since I was a kid but matte painting is new to me. I've been looking at some of the works of cole and stoski and I think it would take me years before I can draw like them. May I ask how long have been doing this? thanks

Wacom Intuos3 A4 & Photoshop.

dude, what software did you use on this one? it's great. what tablets do you use?

I forgot to mention, I used the brush I made in my tutorial for a lot of it.

About 2 or 3 hours, I did it over 2 days though.

love it, how long did this take?

strange but well done !
