woow !! very very awesome stunning art!! make me remeber of DΓrer engravings, and sometimes a semblance of Gustave Dore art! .. but of course yours style is unique ,and I like it very much!! those nyhmps ,(to me) they are moveing like in some kind of poetical dancing, and those rabbits (remember me the lunar /female symbolism ) plenty of them all around meaby a symbolic announce of the joy and fertility of the new season s that are comming soon
exelent and wonderful work! my congrats!

I am very happy to hear the name DorΓ© mentioned, as I am a great fan of his work. The rabbits are a more direct symbol of fertility, though. As spring is, more than anything else, a celebration of the fertile nature.

The amount of detail is amazing!

Oh goodness, the detail in this is just mind-boggling. Forgive the cliche. But seriously, I don't even-
I'm sure you've heard enough times that this is brilliant. I love the way the nymphs blend into the trees and, well, the sheer detail of it all. Just amazing.

Very detailed piece of art! 
Great work, really great.

It did take a while, yes. Not as long as it took me to answer this comment, though. I prefer to use slightly yellowish paper and greenish ink to make the appearance smoother and more old looking. Indian ink is so harsh, I think. Great if you want that black black though.

This is just a stunning image. It reminds me of those 14th century images of Greek goddesses. This is a full view must.

Simply beautiful! The amount of time this took must be extraordinary! The details are so intricate, down to the very last thing. So is the shading.
This piece reminds me of...well, it looks like something I could find inside a storybook, like the highly detailed Tables of Contents. Not a childs storybook, but like a...To me, it looks like a page from an old book from the Renaissance era.
Good work, this is truly amazing!

Yeah, it took me about half a year, though of course I did not work all the time. But averagely I'd say maybe an hour a day? Naw, I don't know. Glad to hear you liked it though.
