Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I'm finally back from Japan, and as soon as the jet lag passes, I'll be back in action with lots of new art. I've been so inspired why all the amazing beauties in Japan, I can't wait to get back to drawing it all!

This photo was taken in Shiratani Unsuikyo, a beautiful forest of ancient cedar trees and moss. This place served as the inspiration for Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, my all time favorite film. It was such a magical experience to be surrounded by so much lush green life. Truly, what a beautiful world we live in.

Photo by me taken on Sony Alpha 6000 with 16mm lens
Location: Shiratani Unsuikyo, Yakushima, Japan

You know, I like to imagine that somewhere on some distant planet, there is a scene that looks like this picture and so many others! Very well done!

This is really admirable artwork. Photography can take a lot of patience, so getting a picture like this must have taken an impressive amount of dedication. Well done.

So this is a photo? For a moment there I thought it was a VERY realistic drawing and I didn't doubt that was the case at all because you're yuumei and you do amazing stuff like this all the time xD But really, somehow it looks like a drawing...

Anyway, great shot, that's a magical place indeed

Fantastic photo, reminds me of Princess Mononoke. Wonder if it is shot in Yakushima Island?

No wonder it inspired Mononoke. Miyazaki and Tezuka both loved nature quite a bit. I think that's something that's missing in my life really. Sounds like Japan was an amazing visit. Glad you went there!

What I most admire and have to remark for this picture is the light. While the center/upwards angle and right green color scheem are quite wonderful, the way it al find itself iluminated and partly born by the flare o the upper part of the picture is what truly makes it for me. It is Increadible, for it give the picture a feeling calm, peace and life. I love this I say:3
