Nifty!

So here is my second attempt at using gouache to paint the establishing BG (from the first scene). I switched the composition so it was a little more inviting and interesting. And I have to say, I'm rather please with thing over all... a nice feeling after being so disgusted by my first gouache (or should I say "gauche"?) attempt. I also found that all my work seems a little better after it has been scanned and fussed with in photoshop. Viva la computer!

I probably will go back and touch this up a bit before shooting it with a camera move... and I'm also considering animating the grassy parts with a little real grass. Must test!
