I started this picture like two-three weeks ago and I neglected it for quite some time, because it was originally an attempt collab with ~Lukiih...except she wasn't very cooperative...nor was she motivated to draw. Another reason why the progress of the picture remained stagnant for a while is because I, myself did not know what to draw...I had nothing in mind, no specific details at least, when I drew the light guide lines for the picture. Basically I had an abstract concept, but no concrete components.

I just wanted to draw a lot of flowers, except I'm not very good at drawing flowers...so the garden evolved into a scene that depicts a mini-pond that is surrounded by trees, mushrooms, flowers, and a giant fan-like-gate-thingie (....in all my eloquence...).

~Lukiih drew like 2 things in the picture. Can you figure out what she drew? Our lines are different. D:

Lmao, good guess, but I could never draw such beautiful fish. I drew that one single left upper corner flower and her screwed up wings. XDD;

AHHHH. Freak. This is gorgeous. X____X Freak freak freak I wanted to send it to Staff Pick, but I couldn't because I drew two things on it....wtf. Yo, erase my stuff, redraw it and submit this again so i can send it in to Staff Pick. Omg. T____T This is so gorgeous. When I first saw the first phase I never thought it would end up like this. :heart: I especially heart the fish and water..that's really unexpected and I never seen you do any of that before. T^T The detail in here is crazzyyyy. Go upload another amazing thing so i can DD it. XDDDD; And omg, I love that gorgeous butterfly in the latern. Your creativity is insanely crazy. ;___; Ah, freak you. I would comment on more, but I'm tired. ~___~ +fav :heart:

i am blown away by all of the detail and even though lukii only did such a small part, i can't even tell which parts are hers. you two work pretty well together.
