Sketch for 3D project

Sketch of idea for 3D modeling project - for Matte Painting final. 

Acceleropa - retouch

Updates:

Added trees in foreground - 3D elements. 

Added faint dirt trails from foreground and throughout background. 

Tried matching tower leaves' color more appropriately. 

Performed dodge on and around tower to create more sun weathered appearance (used dodge for trails). 

Deleted rock from side of car.  Burned underneath.

Tried to grunge-up the car using rust-red-dream reference. 

Added greebles to car. 

Color matched planets to mountain range. 

Leveled down extreme foreground to try to add more contrast. 

Added human skull to midground (a little dab will do ya).

Acceleropa landscape

Performed some color matching for the midground and foreground.  Burned birds and extreme foreground.  Still need the vehicle and shadow cast from the tower.  Used the very first tower reference for the dark side of the tower.  Also added desert growth at the tower base.  Added more clouds using a cloud brush from:
