Matte Paintings

Just a couple of matte paintings I tossed together while up at school... This first pic is of Phi-Phi Island in Thailand, close to where they filmed that movie "The Beach", I wanted the finished Matte to have a mystical jungle feel, with a ballin sunset. I was very happy with the end result.

Next, is a Matte I did from about 13 Images from the Yellow Mountains/Guilin Province in China... Some of the most amazing mountains on the planet, they have a look that is completely unique.
