There is a cave behind a waterfall... A little shrine has been built there and a canopy has been made to guide the water away from the doorway. Hmm... this pic is something quite different from what I usually do. I wanted to make a pic with colors I rarely use. It was hard to make this pic. I didn't really know what I wanted to make. Only the idea was clear in my head. At one point I wanted to make it as realistic as I could with the correct colors... Well, I didn't get the colors correct... Blah, only thing I'm really satisfied with is that forest back there. When I got it done it seemed like it steals the whole show in this pic (lookie the monkey too, uiii!) 8) Anyhow, I think I learned alot from this pic... My friend saw this when I was still making this and he said that the gate looks like a tractors cabin... Actually, it does 8)

This is quite nice. Its an original Idea, although I've seen better pictures in your gallery. I like the shadow under that rock thing.

Pretty pretty pretty! Love the trees! How do you the patience to color so greatly?

This is actually alright, but wheres the emotion? The movement? Its a drawing i'll give you that, but not art.

I like this one, it has a serene and calm feeling to it. It fits totally to my mood today. And I enjoy the composition as well, I could never come up with such settings2 Maybe I should get back to my own drawing board... ;P

Where there's water, even rapidly moving water, even the myst from rapidly moving water, there's usualy more vegitation then where there's not. i offer that not as criticism but if you've been trying to figure what doesn't look quite right about the colors and all.
i've been fascinatied by the idea of a cave entrance concealed by a water fall. there was one in i think dragon bone chair, tword the end of that first volume, at least i think that was it, up in the north of that geography. and there was one in return of the king, in the book that is, somewhere near where frodo, sam and gollom hold up to spend the night on the east side of the main north south river but before ascending the mountains that were the wall of mordor. diverting the waters to make a shrine like that would certainly take magic ans the force of the water there would be tremendous, even at a moderate flow rate. so it would be (and is) obvious to anyone who might happen by that this little shrine is a place of tremendously powerful magic of some kind. and one that seems to holding off a force of nature rather then working with it, though the mages who constructed it may or may not have thought in those terms.
being fond of both nature, science and magic, i think i would very cautiously give this place a wide bypassing other then to see what i could from what felt like a safe distance.
that is of course unless i had 'bussiness' that involved just such a place, of which there would not likely be many others.

then again perhapse it is a totaly benign exercize of rockshaper's art. it does look a bit like there might be some sort of passage behind it.

I actually really like this. It reminds me of a movie scene, or concept, or something. My watercolor abilities are nil, so I admire this a lot. And I think the colors are just fine, even if they're not what you may have had in mind. I love this idea. Keep it up!
