This was one of four matte paintings for SSX 3 game. In game you see about 1/8th of this image.
Originally I painted a full 360 but the PS2 didn't have the memory so this was the result a 180 degree repeated twice, since you only see small portions of the image while in the world, a 180 was the best way to go. the final image was very small compared to when I worked on film matte paintings and was great learning as to how to get more detail with less information It was more like impressionist painting.
