a multi-layered panning background

Our main layout project in the fall term was to create a multi-layered panning background of our choice. I made one that would match my action analysis for DQ's animation class. 

I chose something I was comfortable doing, and planned each step out, saving many times along the way. I drew inspirations mainly from Bambi and Over The Garden wall layouts and backgrounds and my own experiences in the woods. 

This was one of my favourite projects so far! I think it turned out alright, I would change somethings, but nothing major. Probably play with colour and lighting more.
