Description

This is a mixture of Photo-manipulation using stock images, digital painting, and 3D, so I'm not entirely sure what category it belongs in...

This is my first (completed) attempt at a landscape photo-montage/matte painting. I brought together several photo elements, blending them together with both photo-stitching, and painting. Then, using my own 3D skills, I created the other worldly pillars in blender, lighting them and texturing them into the image, then painting them into the scene more appropriately.

I used a fair few stock images from DA, all of which were fantastic, so, credit most definitely where it's due.

Yeah maybe this could be done better, but I'm rather pleased with how it's come out. It looks believable as a continuous mountain-scape, and the ground fits well, and even the pillars look relatively convincing. :D
About 5-6 hours in PS CS5

As always, thanks for checking it out guys.
Let me know what you think!
