This took me 5 hours to draw. I fancied drawing a landscape without any creatures. So I made this jungle like landscape.
It's all done with basic photoshop brushes.

It is a place I would love to go too. I can image me walking around the woods looking into the valley.

Enjoy!

"Amazing"

date: September 15, 2009

Wow, it's a beautiful composition. Usually you'd see too much green in pictures like these but somehow the green doesn't take over the picture so I applaud you on that. The only thing is the highlight on the bridge makes it stand out way too much. A lighter more glow-y type highlight would work better with the overall calm setting of the picture.

"nice"

date: August 10, 2009

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on this website. It looks amazing considering it only took you five hours to draw, and that you only used basic photoshop brushes for it. The colors are very bright, and nice. I love pictures of landscapes, and like wormofsand said, this is one of the most beautiful pictures that I've ever seen on this website. And I can see lots of effort was put into it.

5/5

Overall: Amazing picture.

"great"

date: June 23, 2009

very nice composition in this piece.. i like the sharp highlights under the bridge.. make it seem pretty distinguished.. nicely done.. also.. not sure if you intended this.. but the cottage on the left is hardly noticiable due to lack of contrast. unless u weren't tryin to focus on something else in the piece.. it's pretty nice :D

"excellent!"

I'm very nitpicky, so don't bash me for this one complaint. The bridge on the foreground looks out of place compared to the rest of the picture(which is awesome). great job!

"What a wonderfully valley"

date: June 22, 2009

I love landscape pictures more than any others and this one is the best I've seen on Newgrounds so far! Your eyes are naturally drawn towards the mouth of the river but as you look towards either side you see that this is more then a simple river cutting through rocks. The building, rocks, trees and bridge all reflect an feeling of beauty.
