Finla Project- Finalized w/ Textures

Ok so this was a very fun and exciting project we had for our final class. My proposed level was a post apocalyptic setting where the devil has taken over Chicago and has burned and destroyed Wabash street and the Trump tower. My design process for this project took about around 12-13 hours to prepare. So what I did first I started by burning all the building withe burn tool. Making

Final Project- Design Process

This is my design process to my final project. Im still not finished withit but this is a good start. I changed my whole concept once I got going. Instead of the Lord of The Rings. Im doing an Apocalyptic Chicago theme. SO far what I did was light the sky up with some firy red and orange mixture, with some black in it giving it a hell sensation. After that I burned all the building ith the burn tool, the to one buiklding I added some dirt to it with my custom brushes.

Final Project- Part 1 Concepts

Well this is for my final project, which finally we can put some of our creativity in it. So while I was at work I started writing down ideas of things I could do for this final Matte Painting. The Ideas were coming to me real quick actually. But known of them were seeming so right. I had tidal wave hitting chicago, A Never-Ending pedway, Alien Invasion of the city, and many more. Then me and my friend were at John Barley Corn grabbing a bite to eat, and I was telling him what I want to to do. Then we came up with a great idea. The Concept I'm going for is kind of a lord of the rings feel to it. Take a picture of the sears tower as Sauron's tower. Then take a picture of an eye and paint it in to the tower, using maybe some filters to go along with it. Then take pictures of rocks and hills, and try to make them volcanoes. Then do some color correction, some shading and high lights. Then go from there, this is still just a concept of the supposed level.

London Town

In this assignment we had to change it from day to night. First step I went about doing was to clean the plate which means getting anything you don't want out of your scene. Then i gave it some color adjustments messing with curves, levels, and brightness and contrast. After this I went into the channel box and selection one of the option red , green, and blue. The one that had more contrast I chose which was blue. Then started to painted out the silhouette which was going to be the layer mask. After this i equipped the layer mask to one of my layers. I inverted the selection and deleted the sky. In which I added my own sky which has a night time feel for it and eerie kind of moon. Then after this I started giving it photo filter and a color fill to get the night scene just right. Then I added a detail of a river to give it an creative edge so it doesn't look so boring. I added detail to the stream to get it blend right with the ground, painting the edges a mixture of gray and blue, then giving the blending option to overlay so it looked just right. Then the final step I added fog. This was a pretty fun project, I do see my improvement in this class with Photoshop I can't wait to start this Final Project. This project also gave me some new skills for advance selection that I could of used in earlier projects.

Space Matte Painting

This might be the best one so far, in this one I turned the background into a cosmic universe with some beautiful colors that I thought Mixed very well with each other. The I gave the Plant Neptune some light, and put some shadows in there. The big thing I did though was makle the planet look like it was exploding by combining the wind style, radial blur, and the polar postions. Then giving it a light blue supernatural explosion to put a little creativity into this project. It took me about 4-5 hours to do this. This was very fun I hope you enjoy.
