Artist's Comments

This one was in the works for quite some time now. I’m not entirely happy with the results but i did my best to make it look somewhat interesting. Again it’s a try in digital matte painting combining rendered elements with photo. A friend of mine always said that i need something snowy for my portfolio and so i did it. I did not have any specific concept in mind for this one except the fact that i wanted crystals in there. The photos i used are none of the ones i shot while visiting a friend in austria. Those will come handy in later projects. The crystals were modeled in C4d and imported into Vue. There i created an eco system and painted them onto the landscape. Worked pretty good! Only the integration process in Photoshop was quite difficult. Some pieces are fun to work on and others can become quite heavy work. This one was work. Nonetheless i hope the stormy mountain atmosphere works and you’ll get some goosebumps from the cold the image shows!

Absolutely dig this! One of your cleaner, more refined pieces (perhaps due to it being more work?) and crystals are just awesome anyway - throw in some icy coldness and you've got some class-A looking mattepainting here! My only qualm with it would be that the crystal clumps are all around the same size and perhaps too numerous in the background - I find myself wanting to look at the beautiful crystal blue of the unique ones, but getting distracted by the bunch in the backrgound. Love the two huge ones there though! :)

(That last part may just be subjectivity on my part, and the problem is fixed when I blur my eyes slightly - makes the composition stand out as a whole, which looks cool) ;p
