I dont know about you guys, but I'm all about relaxation. And nothing says relax like the Forbidden Gardens. Though the name discourages visitors, it gives all the more anxiousness to get in. Once you're inside the gardens, everything becomes a beautiful peaceful surreal blur. Kind of like an acid trip, only no drugs. Take a load off on the solid gold bench, read a book under the shade of the beautiful trees, or even take a dip in the pond. All artificially made of course, the pond is filled with imported tropical freshwater, and automatic tempurature controls assure the perfect dip any time. The forbidden gardens is gated and protected to assure your privacy. Also at night the pond glows an aqua blue for nighttime swimming. All the plants and animals contained within the gardens are well taken care of by a highly professional team of landscapers and gardeners than ensure the perfection that the gardens bestow.

Trollabit (Level 1 Seaman) at 9/17/2012 10:01:06 AM

Love it.

Jamzybunny (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/24/2012 1:59:30 AM

I love this garden, it's really, really cool! I love the detail in the plants and the pond, so peacefull. If only it were real...

Darkson (Level 1 Private) at 8/22/2011 2:18:09 AM

Really awesome. Love the pool. This would be an awesome relaxation place...in a floating island :)

8BitBeard (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 7/5/2011 5:30:05 AM

Really nice one, the only thing I can complain is the rather dull bricks on the wall. Breaking up their monotony might add a little bit to this otherwise really nice piece.

HummingBird (Level 1 Thug) at 12/22/2010 7:31:55 AM

ooh... Nice shadows

PoisonousJoy (Level 4 Mercenary) at 12/21/2010 10:06:43 AM

I love all the little details, the little ducks, the trees' leaves... Just, beautiful.

Also, the colors kinda remind me of nes final fantasy games :p

MMM103 (Level 1 Thug) at 7/22/2010 3:15:45 PM

Pretty... So calming. I like just staring at it.

dya2k (Level 5 Soldier) at 7/3/2010 8:41:37 AM

Very well done. Maybe you should change the color of the water outline in the waterfall, I think it's too dark.

StepDragon (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 6/23/2010 11:41:51 AM

THIS is how all iso should be

JediDude (Level 4 Murderer) at 3/9/2010 1:44:55 PM

I love the texture on those trees!

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 2/13/2010 6:29:27 PM

Those damn Swans/ducks tresspassed in the forbidden garden..

I love all the incredible details and colors, really good :)

Poetic_Alias (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/29/2010 10:22:10 AM

Hey I saw this on Pixel Dam. Sure is some great work that you did. It looks very serene.

JekHazit (Level 1 Depressed) at 1/26/2010 2:49:41 PM

Awesome stuff.

Dinomaster45 (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/17/2010 4:05:24 PM

Awesome.

Speckled. (Level 1 Depressed) at 9/28/2009 11:09:15 AM

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it needs some flowers...

Great job, by the way.

It even has, uh, a wishing well!

What could you wish for in a forbidden garden?

Epiplon (Level 1 Thug) at 9/11/2009 11:06:26 AM

I want to relax in this garden too...

cantdoright (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 6/22/2009 9:40:08 PM

Hey they didn't eat the forbidden fruit.

Brod (Level 1 Jukyu) at 4/11/2009 2:08:12 PM

WTF! So ducks can get in, but humans can't? That's genusism!

4ok (Level 1 Thug) at 2/22/2009 10:15:14 AM

=) Good job!

Snitch15 (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/1/2009 5:40:32 AM

ARIL (Level 1 Gangster) at 10/29/2007 10:25:06 AM

Very nice! Animation would be even more nicer, but still very nice!

MrMister (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/25/2007 10:18:08 PM

I dont think this is the masterpiece everyone is making it out to be, but it is quite nice..

Club Beuker (Level 5 Detective) at 10/4/2007 7:07:41 AM

Why.. you just pixeled my happy spot. Wow! I really like this. Keep up such good work. I'd like to see more.

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) at 9/14/2007 6:56:26 PM

Looks very nice, animation would rock and maybe some more vines.

Stan20 (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/15/2007 2:52:56 PM

Inferno.Fighter.IV (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/8/2007 11:11:21 PM

skeddles (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/4/2007 8:00:54 AM

the waterfall is my favorite part.

MirandaRose (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/2/2007 3:37:00 PM

Amazing, absolutely amazing.

Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/7/2006 6:08:15 AM

The description kicks ass, that's how everyone must write it :D

Sors (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/12/2006 9:32:18 PM

I love that waterfall!

YureiGoddess (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/13/2006 11:57:12 AM

This is completely amazing, it's so seren. I agree, that this piece is very relaxing to the eyes, and take a load off of one's shoulders, just by looking at it. The trees and water is wonderful, and the little ducks are a nice touch. Well done, all round

Mulchdiggums (Level 2 Peon) at 5/24/2006 6:01:37 PM

nice walls, i cant make them...

Tets (Level 6 SWAT) at 5/6/2006 11:46:10 AM

Excelent Work man! I would love to be there. It seems so peaceful, so japanese.

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 4/27/2006 12:23:57 PM

I wish I was there too!

DeathBlade@2die4.com (Level 1 Quiet One) at 3/3/2006 1:59:00 PM

i wish i was there :P

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 1/26/2006 9:33:00 PM

Another great ryan-gfx piece. And again some stray black outlines.

oomleo (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/14/2005 10:47:52 AM

Aiko (Level 1 Quiet One) at 8/31/2005 2:45:18 PM

haha. nice work. now i want a "forbidden garden"

1ucas at 7/25/2005 5:44:20 PM

just great

Gas 13 (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/22/2005 2:04:31 AM

Pure classic :) The only thing is that black outline for fence looks absolutely out of place :)

kiwidesign (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/20/2005 10:14:24 AM

what a peace!

Luminae (Level 1 Hired Gun) at 7/20/2005 9:31:44 AM

it's lovely, but it's just -- uh, one garden (without flowers, mind) and you'd barely need one gardener. those plants might die if the temp is adjusted for human confort and, sitting at that bench, you'll have a fantastic veiw of the corner of the wall and a bit of the pond. et cetera.

tamzqueen (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/18/2005 7:31:45 PM

Definately would look awesome animated... water ripples, water splashing from the waterfall.. ducks doing their thing. Very beautiful work. Call me a pixel murderer because I'd kill to have talent like yours, lol

fr0st (Level 4 Killer Klown) at 7/18/2005 2:24:28 PM

wow, ryan, this is some tight work, dam nice ^^

..::Naso::.. (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 7/18/2005 11:12:56 AM

Another great peaice of work by ryan

Ensellitis (Level 11 Sensei) at 7/18/2005 10:22:17 AM

I remember this from DA, it is just as great here. I think it would look great animated...

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 7/18/2005 7:57:02 AM

Ryan, you are amazing.

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 7/18/2005 7:55:08 AM

Imported tropical freshwater... mmmm.

Monstara (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/18/2005 6:49:15 AM

Wow, I swear I'm gonna stare at that for a while

Simply great.
Reminds me of this one from DA. So soothing, amazing.

Amythist (Level 2 Stalker) at 7/18/2005 5:14:14 AM

this would look so awesome animated into the night life scene that you described ^_^ I love this piece, excellent work.
