Description
Although its people are unquestionably friendly, the planet of Athanoi has a strong contrast to its inhabitants. Its forests, in particular, are ranked some of the most deadly within the entire Orion Spur Alliance. Nearly all of their plantlife is pitch black, not that you could easily see that; sunlight is weak even at high noon on Athanoi due to its orange dwarf sun. Their forests maintain a perpetual twilight or even permanent darkness in their deepest recesses, lit only by the glow of sparse bio-luminescent flora and fungi. It's very easy to get lost in one, trip and fall over the underbrush, or even simply walk straight over a cliff. And the forest itself isn't enough, then you'd better be careful of the sorts of creatures that live inside it.Related content

Lovely work, and I like the flavour text to go with it. Not a place to wander alone and unaware, however tranquil it may look!

This is amazing! How long would you say this piece took to create? 😅

Ha, hard to say! I think the best I can say is about 5 days, on and off... Probably would've gone a lot faster if I hadn't spent a lot of it sitting in front of my computer and wishing the rest of those ferns would magically draw themselves.

Gorgeous! I love the colour scheme used in the forest. Always been a fan of luminescent plants and aqua/teal in a plant environment.

Thank you! I personally haven't seen too many teal-based landscapes (excepting waterscapes haha) so I definitely wanted to try it out. Glad you like it!
