The base plate is inspired by Lake Ouachita, Arkansas, a location I visited while spending time with my family. The lake's natural beauty influenced the design, leading to the inclusion of a large planet and foreground elements, with a focus on the central mountain and castle. The goal was to reflect the scale and tranquility of the lake’s surroundings. I hope to collaborate with another artist to develop a composition featuring a small boat approaching a dock at a modest port along the canal. From there, one could pass through the mountain pass to reach the hidden palace. The mood is intended to be subtle and serene, with color correction used to maintain visual continuity, particularly through shades of blue.
