Well, i have rumaged through my plate shots from New Forest again and picked out the next environment that i want to work on from them. This one will be more difficult than the first as the harsh backlighting will mean that i cannot get away with using photographic elements without a lot of relighting work. It should be an interesting challenge though.
Here is the plate, and a sketch to get down my initial thoughts for the matte painting. I may change direction completely with the placement of elements, but the general atmosphere of this sketch is something i want to try and maintain, regardless of the direction the matte painting goes in:
