Hey guys,

Since a lot of people are still wondering what a matte painter really does in a studio, I put up an overview of most basic tasks you would undertake as Junior Matte Painter: cleaning, extending, light enhancement and grading.

This article is very simple and intended for the students and guys who want to begin on this path, so everyone else please don’t take offence

I hope that in the future I will be able to put up some more advanced aspects such as cityscape and camera projection

Anyway, here’s the link

Legends: Pirate’s Cove

I finally had time to do a personal matte and this time I wanted to go for something more illustrative and full of small but many detail.

A continuation of the Legends theme (started with Temple of Nature), Pirate’s Cove illustrates a legendary gulf with a beauty that surpasses any Caribbean island, a place for all Pirates to gather, catch up, drink and reload their supplies.

It’s like their holiday resort

Original size is of 4000 pixels wide and I painted a bit loose at that size (You can see that in the closeups)

I hope you like it!

You can find the full image under my gallery

Of course, prints are available HERE
