Matte Paiting

Posted March 9th, 2007 in Blog

I love matte painting and although I’m not very good at it I like to touch up photography or composite them together into fantasy worlds and such. one of my favorite sites for this feature is MattePainting.org. I was doing some research on techniques for matte painting and such and found a link on 3D World (the September 2006) issue and in the article it said to practice using the clone tool - alot! So I decided to brush up on my painting skills (no pun intended).

I ended up editing a digital photograph of a building in the British Isles that my brother took on a stay there. It was alot of fun and a very educational experience. I’m now definitely going to have to get a tablet pad! The amazing thing is that it was all done in the free open source program GIMP! It’s amazing how such great programs can produce awesome results. Can you tell which one is the original and which one is the post production?
