Part of my half of a trade with   crystumes

I first must apologize at my lack of knowledge about kanji. I just put something there to make it believable. XD;

This piece was done in a few different sittings. 2 today, 1 last week hammering out the sketch. This is probably one of the most detailed backgrounds I have made with little use of grass and petal brushes. I'd like to draw more background focused images, I may offer them for commission sometime, but they take me much longer than my usual images because of all the textures involved.

I'm pretty proud of this piece though! Enjoy!
