WT 75 - Faerie Fountain

It was the first thing I found. A small hole, the entrance to a cave, hidden behind waving leaves. Hacking at the stems of the leaves, I entered the hole in pitch-black darkness. Crawling for what seemed to be endless seconds on an endless stopwatch, I finally came out into a large cavern filled with luminescence. It wasn't sunlight, but an eerie, stark blue glow spilling from the cave's center, a beautifully exquisite fountain full of things whizzing around, calling out, casting off light. As if magic was seeping from the world into the heavens. The pure and flawless beauty of it could be described in nothing other than to be witnessed with one's own eyes. Faeries, I thought, filled with doubt and wonder, even though I knew faeries couldn't possibly exist.

Im pretty sure googling faerie fountains gives you about 2 pages of zelda and everything else is random faerie crap, Belph.

Here's my entry. The first shot is a Zelda-themed fairy fountain, while the second is more related to Warcraft/Emerald Dream.

If you find any images that you think will be suitable for the Weekly Terrain, by all means, please PM me links.

Very cool entries, especially yours, Killer_Mushroom. Good to see we have some new people this week. =) And of course, the old.
Evergreen I like your choice of lighting but I think the foreground can use some more environmental doodads.
Anti_Saint, yours is pretty good, you just need some fog, and it'll look a lot better.
Hope to see more entries.

Here's the same entry just foggified :P
Also added some shrubs...

Oh yeah, about the fog effects, how do I actually make everything foggy, as you can see in the pic, it's further away foggy and in front of the camera there's nothing...

Make sure the Z start is 0. Do that for every terrain.
