No, it's not cheating. It's a technique used to create a more realistic image, using a photograph as reference for the natural lightning and mood for the piece. It's commonly known that in an FX shot, it will only be as good as the matte painter assigned to it. Not that I have any experience in it, but that's what my friends in "the Biz" tell me. Anyhow, this was done in Photoshop CS2 in about 2.5 hrs.
Here is my first attempt. Thanks to Ben Cammarano for all the tips! Wish me luck...

you should definitely add that you need to click it to see it bigger... it's much more impressive that way.
I wish I had skillzz like you do.
When you gonna put that tutorial up on your site? I could use it.
That's just too cool.
oh i forgot about that...what should I put in the tutorial?
I think a tutorial outlining how you do a very basic painting from beginning to end would be cool. Throw in a few tips on creating custom brushes and BAM! A legion of grateful followers will do your bidding at will. You say jump I ask "How high, Sir?"
If you could do a quick tutorial on how I could teach myself to be creative and have awesome technique with visual media, that'd be great.
