Description
I just realized I did a darkwing duck picture with very similar colors...When I was a kid I used to sneer at people who drew in color books and colored Mickey Mouse bright orange and pink. It's weird that I am now allergic to making stuff look like it actually does.
I was inspired by [link] to paint a bridge and some purple rocks, and [link] (by Mel Olm) to attempt leaves, and both these paintings are amazing, so go check them out!

This was probably one of the first pics I faved here on DA :3
I saw it on my random deviations and I was like, "Wow, I seriously need to go back and comment on it!"
So here I am ^^ This picture is very pretty, I absolutely love the color scheme, and the way the bridge looks
Well done

this just blew me away... the purple rocks look amazing, i just don't understand how you can make the rocks purple but they still look like rocks, I hope that made sense

I get down with the funky lighting, though I don't use it myself much. Still, I'd so live under this bridge.

See, though, that these colorations are not random, but a unique interpretation of the composition.

Lol, you should do so anyways. I obviously saw the resemblance. I thought for a minute you took a screen of hers, cropped it, and then used it. but looking at her piece and delving your gallery told me this is obviously not the case haha.

Of course! You have a good memory if you could recall the link so quickly, I'd forgotten it long ago :/ (I should not save things to my computer, it's a bad habit!)

Rofl. I know sandfreak since like 02 or something. Not sure if she'd remember me. We talk now and again when she's able to be on, though.

No problem.
Oh forgot to mention, it would be great if one day you decided to make a tutorial on how to draw similar background.
I really like the style and atmosphere.

I just love the twilight colors! You never seize to amaze me. Just a question, what's a simple yet elegant color palette for vicorian dresses? Sorry I'm making sketches, and I want you opinion because you have a thing for soft yet bold colors.

Well.. if you know my color preferences I almost never go with soft and elegant, more like EYE RAPE! 
There's an awesome website - [link] where you can get some ideas

It looks so safe. Like, I would sleep there. Maybe. I don't like outside so much.

Your description cracked me up

Uh, the angles and colors in this are mesmerizing. I could stare at the foliage forever. Well, maybe not forever, but definitely a very long time.

That's why it is called Psycho Bridge

Surreal! I love the intensity of the colors used and how vivid it all is - like a boldly imprinted dreamland.
Superb!

Thanks! Although I admit the colors were less crazy on my screen.. I had to pump them up for the web because my PS settings are awful :/

Ahahaha, it looks seriously awesome in a maliciously evil sexy way!

Wowza! As I was scrolling down slowly, I was thinking to myself, oooh I'm loving the background, those rocks are really beautifully shadedl, that bridge is so incredible!
But the part that REALLY blew me away was the brush in the foreground. That's really unique and stunning, and made me do a double-take. It's amazing what the simplest details can do.
