You will receive a complete matte painting meticulously crafted to complement your title and author name. Each artwork comes in high-resolution TIFF format suitable for professional print, a web-optimized JPG for online display, and a simplified PSD file with essential layers separated, making it easy for your designer to incorporate. The layout is thoughtfully designed with ample space for text, adhering to standard publishing guidelines to ensure a polished appearance.

With over thirty projects in the sci-fi and fantasy genres under my belt, I understand the technical specifications necessary for print, such as color profiles, bleed areas, and safe zones. This knowledge guarantees that your matte painting is not only ready for printing but also optimized for its specific application.

The retro-futurism style features clean shapes, well-defined light sources, and a lively color palette, prioritizing illustrated clarity over gritty realism. This approach is particularly effective for re-releases of classic literature, new narratives that explore retro themes, or any project where you desire artwork that feels iconic and striking rather than lifelike.
