New Tricks

So I've been plowing my way through some matte-painting tutorials with the ultimate goal of improving my environment work (ah--the eternal struggle!). As a little break and reward to myself, I took a few afternoons to throw together some matte portraits. Turns out all those new techniques work smashingly for characters as well, so I'm quite tickled to add this skill to my toolbox.
 Looking forward to doing more of these as time permits!
