Hey guys !

It's been a while since my latest tutorial! Since a lot of people asked me to do a tutorial about this specific artwork, I tried to take some time to do it. In this tutorial, you will find some techniques I use in complex images that have to include photo-realistic elements ( matte paintings). Those include relighting, color grading, as well as how I use a 3D base in my paintings.

If there is anything you would like to know and that wasn't answered in this tutorial, feel free to write me a comment under the image, or send me an email at Exphrasis@live.fr.
I will do my best to answer your questions as soon as possible, and as well update this tutorial if required.

I hope you will learn a lot from this !

Have a nice day, and good luck with your art.

-Geoffrey

This was awesome - I like the way you do your tutorials, because it doesn't seem like you're just flaunting off and bragging :].

I didn't realize you used so many tools and references though O-o you're so skilled with using so many different techniques to create one, visually astound, realistic piece - and that's just awesome!

Kudos :3 I'll have to start studying life more //salute.

hehe I try my best :)

Well yeah, people don't realise that it's ok to use references and as many tools as you need. People don't care if you use this or that tool, they only care about the result. Of course, if you take a picture and just paint a black spot on it and claim it's fully painted, that's not good, but hey who does that anyways.

Studying helps, like a huuuge lot !!!

I'll keep that in mind x].

I'm lucky to have a friend in art school so I can be reminded of what needs work 24/7 X_X! But this was a huge help too - it's really cool to have such a laid back tutorial. I like it :]
