Description
Started as an environment sketch in Photoshop.Um, those are supposed to be giant lily pads, but their scale to the rest of the picture makes whole picture look a bit odd. Guh.
Photoshop CS3, 2.5 hours.

Weird! This showed up ten days after you uploaded it! I thought you were in trouble. =O But judging by this painting, you were simply riding around on your water horse.

oh wow, it's so peaceful.
the color of the water is always changing, it's beautiful.
the view of the background is so pretty, too.
it all just kinda flows together. I like it.
I can just picture a little girl feeding nessie some break crumbs. |D

I really think that the lilypads make it really eyecatching! Really cool work!

Very well done. I really like the simple feel to it. Nothing too complex for the idea.

the atmosphere in this is fantastic, love how still the water looks and the print-like pattern of the lilypads, the misty hills in the distance is so evocative, stunning stuff!

I think the giant lily pads look fine, the only thing that you could do if your unhappy with there scale is to reduce the size of the ones across the center of the pic and also extend them further into the background, making them smaller as they go. I really like the hills and the boat.

Thank you for the advice, that's exactly it I think. cheers!

Dunno; they LOOK like giant lily pads to me, although maybe if the scale was a bit more gradual? (Ugh, did that make sense?)
I'm REALLY diggin' the lily pads, and how some are transparent (...err, under the water?), and the yellow specks are beautiful. The water looks very amazing too
Everything looks very serene; I think my favorite part of the scenery is the natural bridge-thing to the left *_*

AWEsome pic! I really like the way you did the water and the sea creature!

I think it's pretty, the lily pads do kind of throw it off because of the sea monsters positioning, mostly it makes the monster look tiny. But otherwise the colors and over all perspective looks great. Very soothing :d

Deep perspective baffles me, and I've been staring at this picture and trying to figure out what doesn't look right about it. I think it's the scale of the lily pads and the background elements, with the monster somewhere in between the lot of them. @__@
Thanks though, glad you like it!

I think it's the monster XD at a different perspective as the other two, but it one matched one or the other. But absoluely wonderful still X3 <3

the lily pads drew me in! at first glance i thought the thumbnail was a photo orz. i love the colours and how deep and calm the lake looks.
abot the perspective, the lily pads at the bottom (closest to viewer) are not noticeably bigger than the lily pads in the middle of the pic (farther away). they do diminish in size if i look closely, but not by a great deal. if the size of the lily pads grew dramatically smaller from bottom to center, especially as they approach Nessie, that might help achieve the sense of persepctive you were looking for

Oh, thanks for the advice! Yes I think that's the key to the perspective problem, the size gradation of the lily pads.
Glad you dig the pic!

This is utterly beautiful! Your landscapes are great! ^_^ Very calming color scheme, and the quickest way to make me love just about anything includes adding prehistoric creatures. ^^ The plesiosaur is a nice touch!

From small view the picture's like, "Ahh, look at the calm pond with lily pads" and when you fullview it it's like, "HOLY CRAP A SEA MONSTER!"
Very cool
