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.
