Adventures in matte painting

I am just starting out as a digital artist and I have begun to create several "virtual realms", they are pretty basic. I have been combing online matte painting sites, dreamworks job boards and many many different books on matte painting. The whole "movie making" thing is so interesting to me and the digital scenery they are creating these days is unbelieveable, from sci-fi worlds to kids movies there is nothing you can't create. I thought I would include one of my projects for you to see, it is a floating world, with a floating resort situated on a forest with waterfalls. It also includes a distant universe in the background!
