My entry to the W.o.I.- Contest. I picked the first theme which had to do with scenery, places you might find in Isket. Mine might not be too originally or good as I'm still practicing landscapes but I'll explain what exactly this is.

Basically its a training area for balance, either done solo or as a duel. The idea is keeping balance while training other skills. Sometimes a battle can even be taken place here, or balance with another if needed. It takes patience and good understanding of ones self to keep a focused mind on these. These pole like structures I believe were originally used in this purpose by Monks which is where my idea originally come from.

I wanted the area to have a mystic feel to it, the water below gives a faint shimmering aura of light. The water is cold and a draft will bring a mist up from the waters surface. It's located in a grassy hill like valley.

I don't entirely like this piece but I hope it gives the basic understanding of what I was going for, and the timer is correct. I'm pretty darn slow. x3

I did notice the left side might need some more definition; might work on that later.

Anyone have crit for me? I'd appreciate it as the light source does look funky on top of the logs.

Edit: I've edited a few things that were bothering me. Not perfect but better, thanks for the help for pointing things out. ;3 Though I must have accidentally hit, color in instead of edit. I'm hoping the picture can be transferred to this one.

bumping as I'm looking for some crit on light sources etc. Thank you. <3

the lighting on the tree is coming from a diffrent direction then the logs, if you put the light to match that, it will look better
but other then that, it looks awesome! love the detail!

Ah wow thank you very much, didn't think of that. Do you think the blue ontop of the logs is too intense? I might tone it down some or add more of a gray tone to it.

id keep the bluish color, it makes it fit into the background ^^

[PolarAzulTigris]

Ah, well perhaps smooth it out a bit then. ;3 I'm sure it can use touch ups. I know I'm going to work on the Plateau on the left to make it more defined, just needs a bit more shading. Thanks a ton for your help!

Edit: done with the Plateau, looks much better than before. ;3 Also added some back shading/deep blues and some highlights to certain areas.
