Why are nature backgrounds so much easier to draw? Geeze.
This is also based on a childhood memory, my dad lived in the forest you see, so I'd sometimes explore it. One day I found an archway shape formed out of branches, it was a lot more dense than the one seen here and it didn't have any leaves but it was something naturally growing there. When I crawled through and got to the other side I found a stream and a plant with leaves that were as big as I was! I imagined that I went through some kind of magic portal.
