Description
Been a while since I did any matte painting, thought it about time to get some practice in ( and have a change from Poser stuff, which doesn't seem that great recently)
This was put together pretty quickly, working off a plate I found whilst perusing the stock images section at Deviantart. The link to the original plate is below:

My thanks to night-fate-stock for the photograph. The rest is a combination of various photo elements and a fair bit of painting in Photoshop.
It's not great, but not a bad effort to start me off I think.
Cheers, Ian

i looked at the original pic, and i must say that i really like what you have done with it, beautiful and moody work.
WOW! Fantastic work!
Wonderful work there.
Pretty work~
stunning creation! RS
Just like the 'Dead Marshes' from LOTR...except, minus the dead people...although there is a church ruin, so there maybe a few corpses ! Well composed Vue-scape and just right atmosphere. ~Cheers~
Excellent, well done image!
Wow, great image!
Fantastic! Love it.
It's a stunning scene, superbly done:)
Many thanks to all for your kind words...In response to Jif3d, I just wanted to add that no 3D app was used in this...it's purely a Photoshop creation. Ironically, I have Vue but have never used it.
Excellent image. Turan
