Figuring out a process

Well I like this matte paining process much like Maciej Kuciara uses however, I am in no way at the same level. The principle however, remains the same. I hope to learn a lot from trying to figure out matte paining and using that to render semi final concepts out. my lighting is still not where I want it as you can see the image is very flat and things are rough all over . Latley though its been more about generating ideas. as I think that is really what defines concept artist from illustrator. More specifically.... Ideas for environments, props and vehicles. Characters definitely no... I just am not strong there and it will take some time before I am. Id rather get proficient in a specific focus.
