new update - bottom one (clouds city)

[brather]

Great..

I think in the first one, the airship far away could be nearer and bigger.. I mean.. Maybe.. :P

Keep my eyes on your pics..

[Duman]

Very cool, top notch quality. The mountains look fantastic, just out of LotRs. Keep it up!

[Majora]

great composition,I like the depth on the first one

[peteywaz]

awesome lighting, both very believable, i just love the palette of the first and the second has a great scale. Couldnt hope to critique, just admiring them...

[mecos]

very awesome images. the first one is my favorite simply because it's more creative but it has a few problems. the most distracting to me is the reflection of the buildings is very slanted. the reflection shape also doesn't match the buildings.

there is also an issue with scale. the floors in the bottom half of the front towers seem to be a lot bigger the the top portion where it's all shiny.

[timmyhol]

Really impressive stuff. I love the first one, personally I would like to see more of the stuff going on in the sky, I can see stuf moving around in the distance, but its just a bit too faint. I love the birds, I think it really helps the piece feel alive. The mountains are beautiful too. Great work.

[paulturalski]

thank u all 4 kind comments! Im really happy u like them! Im still in a learning curve so i keep trying to do my best - but my best is sometimes not enough :)
>>mecos - i agree with reflections, though not with the floors :)

best regards to u all

[Miss A]

adoring the first one
the lighting is spectacular and the fact it's afte a good rain sets such a great atmosphere.

*update* - matte painting "mine"

[Duman]

Love them,Love them,Love them. I think they all have some really great style, but the one in the wheat field has the best idea, at least, to me. Very war of the worlds like, and I love that.

Im not sure what the helicopter is carrying, but it looks dangerous.
Keep up the great work!

[Mepp]

Nice... very nice!!!
The snow one is great! Man, you rock ^.^

[thedestroyer]

Yeah, great atmosphere... really dark

[paulturalski]

uhhh thank u all !!:) i really appreciate ur comments :D

[paulturalski]

new matte painting done just for practise (2h - bottom - crater planet - halo like:)

[laterDays]

Awesome work man... I'm voting for the first one also haha. I love that piece. You handled the shine on that skyscraper beautifully!

[Duman]

I really hope you used some actual images in the last one there, it looks waaaaaaaaaaay to real to be drawn by hand. Keep updating, need more!

[paulturalski]

"I really hope you used some actual images in the last one there, it looks waaaaaaaaaaay to real to be drawn by hand" - of course i did bro :) that was a quick matte painting done fore practise. and sometimes im just too lazy to drawn a landscape so i use photo - save time and outcome is better. doing it very rarely anyway

[Duman]

Well, in any case, its very cool. Fits very well into the background, very thematic. I was about to accuse you of having cyborg hands. Keep the sweet pics coming!

[Justin.]

These are astounding! Great job! The mountain one is the only one that looks more like a painting than a photo tho.

[paulturalski]

Thank u for kind comments! Regarding that cybor hand - u know it all depends on what are u trying to achieve - i know most people prefer hand painted pictures but im my case i would be not good idea to go for it if i want to achieve realism - that has good and bed sites of course...

[Jas0n 0n a Bike]

Really digging these, dude. Love the reflections in the first piece.

[stalsby]

some nice work! the first one is my fav

[KonnA]

Wow, the level of detail on that desert crater piece and the futuristic city with the birds is amazing, thanks for the jaw drop ;)

[paulturalski]

evrybody like the first one and it`s kind of frustrating for my because the biggest amout of work i actually put in the last one (mine). anyway i get the base of what kind of pieces people like the most... i think . thnx a lot bros!

BTW: any ideas what can be changed in the last one? or what would u change?.:)

[Duman]

I think they are all really well made. I think most people like the first one the best because the mountain is so incredibly detailed. I think they are all diffrent, and very, very well done. Cant say I like any of them above the other ones.

[paulturalski]

i did a concept of some future city - or whatever is that ... :/. above

[Lone Wolf]

Great Work! The first one is just great!

[Duman]

Its strange, it looks almost like you changed your style when you made the last one. Its not bad, like all of them, its really well rendered, I just think future technology and past architecture doesn't work that well here.

[plantman]

with the new image- the perspective looks peculiar on the near tower. The clockface isnt central; if it was intended to be in relief then that isnt described either.
The far distant arch looks rushed. I think it would be more of a silhouette than as shadowed as it is here.

[El Jeremie]

Very good works, love the snow piece and the krater.

[Pelaxus]

What the .... ? Five stars for merging textures/photos found on the net plus few PS's tricks? C'mon-let's threw it to the Best of CA now! What's happening to this forum?

[GRMC]

aaaaaaaaaaa, its jaw dropping yo yo yo

[paulturalski]

a small update - city in the clouds (bottom one)

[Duman]

Much love and respect. A very cool pic, detailed and beautifully rendered. Wish you would update more!

[Duman]

Especially factories that fly through the air! More cool work, lots of detail, and the ideas pretty original. How long would you say it takes to complete one of these? What is your process?

[paulturalski]

i ll post some wip later on.. thnx
PS: from one to two weeks - depend
