_ Details

I had the opportunity to work on Game of Thrones and to do some set extensions or matte paintings. I also supported the CG team with texturing the digital double of the undead creature in season 7, which you can see in the making of at the bottom of this page.

Game of Thrones Season 3

I painted details over the 3d model of Kings Landing layout provided by Dziga Kaiser. The rocks are completely matte painting. The stronger light direction was added later in compositing.

Original matte painting

Yunkai - I had to paint out modern elements and add some additional buildings and details like the wall and towers in the midground and the palace on top of the shot.

Game of Thrones Season 7

I created the set extension of the rock structure. Parts were 3d by the environment team and I overpainted them with details to match the plate. Dragonstone was done by environment team of Pixomondo Frankfurt.

I extended the set rocks with matte painting elements. Dragonstone in the background was done by environment team of Pixomondo Frankfurt.
