Composition : Castle On A Bluff 2

[Pene Menn]

This composition is my second compositing practice.
I found this 6 photos at the internet.
But too many noise to composite. so i couldn't upload more big size. ;)
I used only photoshop.
Thanks~ :)

the first thing i notice is that there is an atmosphere problem, it can be me but i think that you need to make that little city have a little bit more fog like the rest of the bg. but other wise i'm likeing it

there's a couple of problems with this pic...the perspective is off, you have the castle in the front at sligth bird POV and then you have the city in the background at a pretty straight on POV even though the city is in the background and situated lower than the castle...

it's also very easy to see that you used different parts for this pic...it doesn't blend all that well...especialy the city and road seems very flat compared to the rest of the pic...

This works very well as a method to build usable reference from public sources. Don't stop here, though, do an illustration from this (but not a paint-over), using the reference and the scene you built to make something completely from you.

I remember you using a 3d-app to build perspective scenes; do that with this image. make some simple 3d shapes of this scene with correct perspective and then paint from there.
