Fable of the Night - Matte Paintingby Andrew Teng, Indonesia


After I remove the old sky, then I use brush tool to make it a new sky, I use grey color but sometimes if mix it with white color to give the depth.

"Note: it's better to make cloud with so many layers, because it can make a depth of the cloud <-- this is my opinion”


The city in the central of the mountain, I make it separately, I mean I use smart object for making that city, it's really a good feature because I can focus it when I make the city, since I am using a dual monitor then the canvas from smart object, I put on the another monitor, so when I save it, I can clearly see the change of the image on the original canvas on the right monitor.


In the below image, I am making a new town ( I used smart object for it ), and make a new mountain for my new town, then make a small stream, I stamp it from the stream on the picture, then some of it I modify it.. just make it look natural :-)


I use brush tool for making a fog, since I want to make it little mystic picture :-)


In the below image, I hide the rest of city and town, than I try to convert it into night. I add new adjustment layer then I choose "photo filter" the configuration for photo filter is "000033" for color night then I put 100% for density, after that I add new adjustment again but this time use "levels", the configuration that I use is RGB "0 0.30 255" red "0 1.00 255" green "65 1.40 255" blue "0 0.92 236".
