Banff is a truly beautiful location and easily one of my personal favourites that I've visited. Ever since I saw this scene for the first time during a holiday in January 2010, I wanted to draw it. It's been through multiple revisions and several complete restarts in the time since then (which can be seen, along with the photograph that I took that I used as my reference, in my attached WIP), but I'm finally going to call this one finished.
