Movie study: LotR and Sketches

Put a little more into this one to further check out CS5 bristle brushes...very nice.  I tried to keep detail more selective, and use a more graphic feel on the mountains/bg.  I feel I can push the scene even more so throw down some critiques please!




And here are a few drawings - loosely based on some dinos and things for fun.  Thanks for having a look

  1. I think your town has too much contrast/darks...when I squint my eyes, it feels in front of the plains instead of behind...either values, or put someone/something in the extreme foreground that cuts across the town and gives a better sense of depth. I like the impressionistic level of detail a lot :)

  2. I can feel ya on that - the buildings and walls are very dark in the picture, however I am feeling that I should have compensated a bit more. The air is just so clear in New Zealand that atmospheric perspective is nowhere to be found :P

  4. Nice study. I like your firmer commitment to the edges. Watch your values though, for instance I think there's too much green going on in the town.
