Matte painting Environment - Tollgate

[Henry Pashkov]

Work name it pictures - "Tollgate beside ...".

[VashTheStampede]

its a great idea, but the castle is quite out of scale and slightly off kilter.

you may also want to lighten it up slightly. the foreground is nearly impossible to decern.

and which castle is that? (look like himegi but i cant keep them straight)

i agree with everything vash said, that castle on the mountain is massive!!!

[Henry Pashkov]

I have tried to make the lock less and to shine a forward part,
but it not seems to me that it is a good course.

[Henry Pashkov]

And about brightness in general. Probably it is necessary to lift brightness of the screen simply. :)


Though probably I else work question of the illumination

Good change, but watch the lightning...you have multiple sources + the lightning on the foreground does not match the source both in color and direction.

Very cool matte painting dude! nice atmosphere for sure! But I think there is still a lot of space where you can put more figures, lantern pole, other props or what not. coz right now people will only see the good stuff in the background but foreground is lacking interest. So maybe add some interesting things there will help!

keep it up!
