Hey guys! I'm making another push to improve my meager painting abilities. This started as a low res photo I found on google(see ref below), and I'm basically expanding the frame, adding a rocky cliff, fixing the bad photography, and painting over the buildings to increase their detail and resolution. I'm learning a lot, but would like some feedback from anyone, especially matte painter types, but anyone's welcome! Rocks and new wall textures were done in Painter, everything else in Photoshop.

Thanks much! Lots of detailing left to do, repainting what portions are left of the photo.

there's a little blur going on at the edge of the cliff, might wantto take another ref photo and add some detail here and there, as the whole 'edge seems done in the same fashion

the clouds look quite different on the left and right side, and they seem to have a different view 'focus'

I think the rock on the cliff lacks definition or light/shadow to fit the rest of the photo maybe thats why it looks a bit blurry

good job btw

Also the castle is over hanging the rock cliff.

Thanks for the comments guys! I agree Fab, maybe the rocks are too soft? Link - what do you mean its overhanging? I'm sure you're right, I just don't know whatcha mean! I've updated it btw
