looks pretty real to be a painting... how did you do it?

Thanks Jah. Entire painting was created in Photoshop. I did quite a bit of photo manipulation and paint. The majority of the distant and misty rock faces were hand painted. I was able to creat those quite easily considering there isn't much detail. The most difficult part of the painting was creating the forground cliff face. I wanted to use an interesting, sharp, jagged shape, but I didn't want it to look to out of this world. I used scattering and color dynaimcs in my brushes and with that I was able to create randomness in my texture

wow, really cool

i do see one spot where the tree doesnt quite fit in to the cliff face (the tree in the top right corner of the forground cliff) but its amazing stuff. what do your brushes look like?

you should really try out the pluginz matte painting competition and see if you can win that mac they are giving away here http://www.pluginz.com/contest

good work.... but it would be more great if could add some noise to the fog, especialy below mountains... it will give that image more depth and realism i think...
