Okay, final color update, if anyone can tell me what to do better please do so because I have no idea what I'm doing really.

Also WHAT ARE CLOUDS

[Chashio]

This is awesome.

[Meshon]

Love it.
What are clouds indeed,
but motes of inspiration,
Mists upon the sea
Of bold imagination.

You say you have no idea what you're doing, but I think it's more like you have a hundred ideas of what you're doing, and you're doing them all just right. Additions? Well, how do you feel about shading or highlighting some of those trees out front?

Very nice poem Meshon. Whether you came up with it on the spot or looked it up, colour me impressed. Also, I spent like 4 hours doing each individual tree so I hope you're proud.

Alrighty here is the final product:

Any last minute suggestions before I post to finished?

Yeah, the doggerel popped into my head when you said that funny thing about clouds.

I think the trees are really good, I've always had trouble with masses of trees and just putting in the Herculean effort feels like time well spent. When I figure out another way to make trees happen I will be shouting it from the rooftops.

I hope you don't resent me for the time it took

I definitely don't resent it, if anything I think it made it better so I'll thank you for it! Also thanks for the new term "doggerel", never heard it before but what a fantastic little word.
