| I really like this one. It's a lot more solid and vivid than most of your work, I think it's definitely your best yet. Great job. |

love the background. from far away, it sort of looks like a big sheet of semi-crushed goldleaf. beautiful.
nice touch with the doors and windows in the trees, too. they're subtle, not immediatelly noticeable, but when you do notice, it's a pleasant surprise.
it will make a beautiful book.

hedlamb - Thanks! Glad you like it!
Ylla - Thanks! I was kind of hoping for a golden glow to it--it's supposed to be a happy scene.
Matthew - Thanks! Beware the trees, though--they eat people. Well, not really. But they could.
Andromeda - They're sewing a cloak of leaves together--I guess it's kind of hard to tell at this size.  If a place like this existed, I would probably like to go there, too...but I've never found one yet. In my imagination, though, this place is warm, sunny, and 100% spider- and mosquito-free.
Chthonic Divinity - Hahaha, thanks! 
Tinusch - Hey, thanks very much! I'd been in a total rut lately with my work, so I'm glad to hear you think this is an improvement.
