    Wow, looking at this gives me a sense of deja-vu.

    I think I saw it on the Travel Channel? They went on a hike in Hawaii through streams and rocks and bamboo and came to this magnificantly beautiful waterfall.

    This one goes on my favs. list o' your artwork. :D

    *ding!* The answer is "Manoa Falls"!

    Each of the the panels were referenced from various photos KS took on a hike a number of years back~ :D

    Some have asked how long this one took and how I did it~ Actually, this is one of my few strips that are done completely in Photoshop - from planning/layout to sketch and coloring. It took me about 6-8 hours to complete, as each panel is a painting in itself.

    My favorite parts were the bamboo forests - although they were somewhat challenging to get the colors to harmonize. o_o!

    Oh! I think I've been there. It's on Oahu, right? Up in the mountains past U of H?

    Back in 1992, I was at the ESA meetings in Hawai'i and took a field trip up into the mountains and the rain forest. I mainly remember the trail being very slick (and me falling and sliding on my bottom down part of the trail, right in front of all these famous ecologists). And I was very jealous of our tour-leader, she had these cool boot things that she said Japanese-Hawaiian fishermen used to keep their balance on the deck - the big toe was separate from the rest of the rubberized boot and I thought they were the coolest things.

    Your painting/drawing of the area is just beautiful. It makes me want to go back there.

    i actually just went to manoa falls a couple of weeks ago so i recognized the trail instantly. :) amazing rendition of the hike! and i like how kana goes off the trail path and into the stream. :D we did that too and got pretty strange looks from the tourists. definitely the better way to go though - yay for kana!
