thanks guys
Jay - yeah definitely, I think modelling the very foreground buildings would be a good exercise as well as adding in more detail. I understand on lack of time, especially with your Outlaws launch - hope it goes well
Mat - yeah the matte painting part was fun but made me realise how long ago it was since I'd done any perpective pictures! You're right about the flipping of pictures - I did it last thing at night for a quick look and then the next day started working on the flipped version before eventually flipping it back. It's good to see where the eye is drawn and to spot those ever present bad areas
arran - good idea on the contrasting styles - maybe make the same scenes all polished and shiny and then redo them as if there has been a war and everything has gone to ruin
I've got some 3D stuff for a game that I might put up soon, some 2D pictures and will be starting working on my final project (9 months at it) so plenty more threads will be coming this way
