Done for the NHM digital matte painting challenge. The image originally of the British Natural history museum. The competition was in two parts to remove people and objects from a photograph into a clean plate. The seconf part was to show it in the future in a ruined london landscape whilst keeping the museum itself recognisable. This matte that i created took a long time to do. I had to go out and go to botanical gardens, woods to get reference shots. I really enjoyed this challenge as the support from the digital matte painting forum was phenomenal. I am only a beginner and though the image is not as highly polished as a professional matte painter it is something I am proud of. So my thanks to all at the CG society who gave me encouragement, look forward to my next image soon.
