Underneath the troubled lands of Nippon lie many mysterious springs, hidden and kept away from those that reside above. To a God, however, the seals are easily disregarded, making the hidden caverns places of much-delighted solace for weary deities.

This piece took far too long for my tastes x3 But I guess I knew it wasn't gonna be a quick picture going into the thing. Still, I got to try out a few new features, like lighting, fur, rocks, etc., and I really like how it came out anyway ^^

Enjoy!

Thoughts Now:
This is another picture that I don't think much of - which is surprising, regarding how much work I put into it, and so many things which I think I did right. For example, the rocks, the waterfalls, the still pool, the spotlight - all the elements seem good to me, and I think I did them well, and yet this picture is just... lacking. I suppose it goes to show, a whole is not made merely of the sum of its parts.

It could be how I did Ammy, which I admit was during that stage when I could sort of do fur but not really (Hell, I might still be at that stage :P), or perhaps it's the lighting and colour. Who knows?

Ah well - these things happen! I can't be happy with every piece of art I do, so might as well just accept it and look to the future :3

Enjoy!
