A sort of midpoint progress pic of the trade with  darkdragoon Now with inked lineart!

All of the sketched bg stuff will be without outlines and color only.

I tried to settle on somekind of mix between "symbolic and natural".
Originally the background was to be a night sky on the ocean with a weird lens effect, forming an oval envelope around the character. I figured the original setting would've been too dark so I turned on the lights and added the waterfalls. I still tried to include the lens effect but I'm not sure how well it works atm.

Currently in the early stage of colouring and shading the outlined areas.
Also trying to experiment with water reflection :p We'll see how it goes.
