Ellerslie Screen

geez...
this picture took waaaay longer than I hoped to finish. Doubt anyone can tell by the results.

I've had this image in my head ever since listening to DO AS INFINITY's song "Rakuen". The whole purpose of this was to make it seem like a screenshot from an opening for game or anime or whatever but it doesn't really look like it.The trees aren't done very well either but I got so sick of working on it that I stopped rendering them anymore than I should. Perhaps I'll fix it up in the future...cuz they look sloppy....=0 which sucks cuz I spent a long time on it!

over all good practice on layouts though. At least I learned something while working on this.

How it pogressed:

*Editz*
people, this character is a GIRL. She's from my previous submission:

Does she seriously look THAT out of place? She isn't exactly wearing artic clothes here. Sunny doesn't necessarily mean it's warm. I should know coming from where I live. =_=

Edits 2: thanks for the critique about the shading. I'll fix it later.
