The Forest

"The moment you leave the forest everything changes.
The story that made such perfect sense,
that explained all the things that had happened,
starts to fade like the dream it is."
-Autumn Country, Leaving

My entry for the 1st annual Shades of Autumn contest being run by *jademacalla for the ever awesome, ever growing, ever intriguing Autumn Country project being developed by him and his crew over at Djinn Productions. To find out just what the heck all this Autumn Country stuff is about, check out the website here: [link] .

Now as for this entry, I came up with this idea and was really psyched about it. For some reason, I really like depicting concepts for Autumn Country rather than scenes. I'm not sure why. The different themes running through it intrigue me! SO I decided this time around I wanted to do a picture about the Forest, this seemingly mythical place in which the Faeries do their training. Its always with them, even when they are in the busiest of cities.

Of course, after I started working on this piece, I found out there was another entry that was similar to this that focused on just an eye. :sigh: Well, I tried to make it unique as I could while saving the integrity of my idea....sorry guys! >.< I still wanted to enter though!!! If I'm able to find sometime, I might make a second entry to make up for it!
