#Theme:

Show us the forest as we have never seen it before. This could be, for example, small details that the unwary walker misses. Or of secluded forest dwellers that no one has ever seen before. Incredibly magnificent plant and fungi wonders. Or fantasy scenes of magical beauty and wildness and secrets that take place in the forest and that are only revealed to those who are in the right place at the right time.

No modern technology, no weapons/battles, no memes.

#Rules:

  1. Follow the community’s rules above all else
  2. One comment and image per user
  3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  4. Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)

    Prompt: 90s fantasy movie still of a forest sprite wading through a dank pond, the sprite has a hard and wood-like skin with a feral aura, in a wild and foreboding forest, rays of light shine through the tree branches, panoramic view, shot on 70mm IMAX film --ar 143:100

      My runner-up:

      Prompt: highly detailed painting of the fairy king’s court, in a serene forest glade, painted in romanticism style --ar 4:3

      I really like this one myself (fairies and cute stuff are always nice :), but it was a little too messy.

      This is the epitome of a mysterious forest creature, the whole scene has a very powerful and magical energy. If there was a bonus for the most technically complex rendered image, this image would have won it. The perspective, the water, the details, just wow. You won third place, together with the alien plant by Trollivier. 🥉
