It's been a while since I've been super proud of something I've made. I had so much fun making this. An accumulation of my taste in JRPG's, anime, artcore, and jrock.

I envisioned running and flying through an enchanted forest with leaves that reflect the sunlight in a prismatic way.

Inspired by ARForest.
