Some Magical Places

I have located some very unique and interesting images which come to mind when I think of the Fantasica in Danger chapter in the book, Neverending story. These images are very inspiring and they bring to life what I imagine my scene could look like.

This image above really puts it into perspective of how big a tree can be, Although not as tall as most, the tree in the images is huge in thickness. This Is what I imagine an ancient tree which has survived hundreds or even thousands of years would look like. Love this image, shows us a little bit of history and beauty within a single tree.

Even though my scene will be during night, I specifically picked this woodland because of the way it let the sun through the trees. Every beam of light bursting its way through the trees onto a small patch of the woodland floor. This will surely help with shadows and lighting.

This image which I think is a painting shows me a really good example of a mystical land. The placment of the scenery plus the colors show a good demonstration of what a magical land should look like. I also really like the shape of the tree which I think resembles the moon.

 With a hint of fog, the image above gives a forest a whole new perspective. Although it might be magical, is it as peacful. The fog suggests something lurks among the forest or the once peacful forest has become a more creepy and cruel place.

Holy cow, Simon helped me find this image which I must say is really quite amazing. In this image I love the way each of the trees roots errupt from the ground and also the way limp branches hang from the tree.
