Hmm... This one was unintentional.
Started out as the background for a very different idea I had. But the more I worked on it, the more screwed up it got, to the point where it didn't even closely resemble the picture I had in my head.
Figured that within this pic, the original concept was unsalvageable, so I didn't bother trying to go back to it. Just kept going with this as it was. I figure the end result isn't too bad, even though it's not at all what I originally had in mind.
So I'm posting this, and I'll hopefully be able to do the original idea I had some other day after a fresh new start. It just wasn't meant to be this time around.
Anyway, I know I've recently done a pic with foreground bushes and vines, and I don't usually like being so repetitive. But they seemed right here, so I'm leaving them in.
Start to finish in Photoshop, no refs. This took several hours, partly because I was trying to force it to be something it wasn't.
Edit: Moved this out from scraps to my regular gallery due to a print request.

Wow. This is beautiful. Hakubaikou, your artwork was amazing. Probably still is. Hope you lived a happy life, and an even happier one where you are.
This is just absolutely beautiful! This is just gorgeous. Man it has a soothing & tranquil feeling about it.
Now imagine seeing something like this in real life.....
How wonderful & amazing would that be?
EXCELLENT WORK friend.

beautiful use of depth of field. Great colors as well 
Thanks very much!
OFF COURSE. I agree with that. It would be like living in a dream world, I dont think there are many real places that can compare with that.
Wow--you're an art machine lately! (or maybe it's because I haven't logged in much, so I'm getting a big dose of people I watch...maybe both?)
Great job with those trees. I have a picture I'm working on with trees but it's definitely not my forte'. >_<

OOoo this is lovely! I really like the little house at the top.
The only thing that stands out to me a little bit is the second mini waterfall, it seems a little, I don't know what the word would be, stiff? On the turn it's not quite as fluid as the one above it. But that's tiny compared to how awesome everything else is ^^
And oh, totally random but, do you go around gaia anymore?

Thanks, Neobakaneko.
Ah, Gaia! *guilt guilt guilt guilt* I keep meaning to PM Dri to let her know I can't mod there anymore. (Unless I've already been de-modded, which wouldn't surprise me at all.) I haven't been there in a very long time. I burned out a few months back, and some behind-the-scene stuff had me a bit peeved. I hope to go back someday, but I just don't have the desire at the moment.

Ohhhhh, I sees. I remember a while back there was a lot of drama going on with another artist that was here on DA.
'Cuz...
I was totally gonna ask you a selfish favor XD You see, I'm holdin' a contest there, and I've seen you enter contests before, but I also know you're a busy person and I don't want to be one of those "ENTER MY CONTESTS PLOX!", but I thought you might be able to help spread the word? I'm givin' out a ridiculous amount of stuff (ridiculous compared to my small inventory) and only have about 35 entries, and I don't want to have to extend it again T_T;

love the pic
Love it. It's such a serene atmosphere.
Thanks.
It may be something unintended, but it's very lovely. The front foliage seems a bit off, but behind it is just lovely; I adore good painted landscapes.
Thanks very much for the feedback. ^_^

Heehee. Thanks. ^_^
