Description I've been doing a lot of work recently that I can't show (which is always a downer) and a lot of other work cramming to finish off a major project which is eating in to my art time!

This is a concept image illustrating an area with such enormous vegetation that you can actually walk under the roots of larger trees. I always loved the look of "A Bugs life" when they turned mere blades of grass into glowing cathedral-like ceilings and the like; I've just made the foliage larger rather than the characters smaller.

M-Thomson [2005-06-30 21:34:53 +0000 UTC]

I'm taken aback at the overwhelming majesty of this setting. The style in which this has been painted is a nice break from the uber-detail of your previosu pieces, which is by no means a bad thing, but the simpler effect does, I feel, lend a lot to the atmosphere more than your grander cityscapes.

as usual, it seems.

Arrgh. You've got two of those now. x.x I mean, the same file, twice. Erryes, you probably noticed it yourself. : P

The picture itself of course looks wonderful.
I really like the water and the little bridge thing. ^^
