This is a digital matte painting which I did for the movie Nydenion. In the final digital composit we will put in some live action troops comming up the hill. A a couple of CG transport shuttles in the sky will support them.

The painting is done in Photoshop CS2. Finishing time aprx. 30 hours. I did use some textures from nearby mountains and painted over a nice autumn sky photo which I took last year. It was really fun to finish that painting by having absolutely no reference. Your comments are welcome.
