My 1st Matte Painting

THE UPDATED VERSION OF THIS AND THE BREAKDOWN CAN BE SEEN ON MY FALL-2010 COMPOSITING REEL ALSO ON THIS CHANNEL.

This is my first real matte painting done using only Photoshop and After Effects. This is an alien planet that I came up with and created using photo textures. There are several small flying cars and ships in the city area and the sky, moving clouds, a floating island, moving water using displacement maps, glowing crystals growing out of the ground, alien planets, and birds flying by which were animated in after effects using a 2 dementional photo. I am sure there are things that could be improved on but I think it turned out pretty well for my first.

@mk11174new Hey man.. thanks. My instructor gave me a few suggestions on minor things to change with the blurs and color.. he wants me to desaturate it alot though .. to the point where it is barely above black and white which I dont like.. but I'll probably revise it to some degree.
