I tend to 'cheat' a little, photographing on a plain background then photoshopping stuff in later . It's a simple process that some freeware programs should be able to handle too if PS is not an option.

I've recently printed selected pictures to a A3 format and glued on some foam core (2 sides to reduce costs 
).
I then place them in the back and give a slight orientation towards the ground so it does'nt catch any silly reflections of light. To hide the place where posters lies on the ground, I lift the part where the models stand which gives the impression the model is near a cliff...
You can find examples here. and if you want I can take pictures of how I do it. The result is very far from perfect but it's a first step I guess.
I recently bought a second lamp which is an absolute must imo. Since I started using a real second lamp, it's far much easier to take reasonably good photos. Now I need to get my hands on daylight bulbs since mine broke and I'm stuck with yellowish light bulbs.

Oh OK, I just typed, "fantasy landscapes" and "landscape" in google images and added some JB drawings to the lot... worst part is to select aongst the brazillions of pictures after that.
