I think both are very well done, expecially i like the soft atmosphere of the first one, maybe i would have darken the foreground a little bit more, anyway good job.

Beautiful matte, mood, atmosph.., photgraph.., angle..
I liked that

congrats

Here an update with a recent matte..
Some time ago during a surf on the Internet I found an incredible article about a Wooden Skyscraper located in Russia.
The Gangster Wood House is located in Arkhangelsk and it's believed to be the world's tallest wooden house. With its 13 floors reaches 144 feet
I collected some pictures of it on my pc waiting to use it in a drawing or mattepainting.
Here is the end result

Great work on all of those.Very interesting scenes.

You did a great job on those environment pieces. All of them are well conceived and the details are excellently rendered. I especially like the silent beach, with its inviting yet mysterious atmosphere. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more from you.

damn good skills. specially like the second image. loved the atmosphere.

Thanks all for comments.
Here a new recent matte done for fun.
Hope you like it, let me know your opinion,thanks!
