Okay, so I'd like to make a full-out temple! It will be open for everyone and anyone wanting to get away for a while! As for my map makers, you can have partners, I'll do art trades, anything it takes to get it done!

It would be on an island, surrounded by statues, with a few tall mountains, shrouded in greenery (kind of like an enchanted jungle, but not too much to make the place laggy D:), like so:
(except in this picture, the temple wouldn't be under the statue, but somewhere up in the mountains AND the statues would not have to be this big, and the figures would be different, and NOT so detailed xD)

The temple itself would be a huge attraction, somewhere embedded into the mountainside. You'd be able to go inside, and there would be a small temple nearby for sleeping. Inside the large one, we'd have a grand hall, with gold carvings and a main altar with another statue on it. The inside would be lit with candles.
Outside, there would have to be a gong (and, if it's possible, I'd like it to ring every hour? But idk..maybe you can't do that on here xD), and a large ledge in the mountainside, looking out over the island, facing either north or south, and you should be able to see both the sunrise, and sunset.

Then, moving into the forest, I want there - somewhere - to be a little circle of huts, large enough for one person to fit comfortably inside (much like the ones in the Sarmera and Dersa maps), and throughout the forest will be magical places; little and big auras, unique crystals, ponds, and maybe a cypress tree with some little shrine deal next to it, or something. Also...a waterfall somewhere?
More ideas:
-Sermera & Dersa map: (a link to the download, if you'd like to explore it, as it has the sort of serene feel I'd like to express in this map. My inspiration for this whole project was based on this) http://ktnina2.deviantart.com/art/fh-or-fh-map-DOWNLODE-Sarmera-Dersa-271654346
-A large tree?: http://www.cajuncoastpaddle.com/images/photos/cypress-tree-lg.gif WITH the little decorations around the trunk in this - http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5238478744_2a50131bb6.jpg
-Here's a fun little idea for a shrine on/near the tree (: http://www.spi.com.sg/spi_files/tree_spirits/pic/17-tree-shrine-to-indian-go.jpg

LASTLY (I promise this is the end xD), for the honeymoon center, and rehabilitation center, I'd like to have various caves speckled around scenic areas for the honeymooners, and little, close groups for rehab:

So...yeah. This map is HUGE (not in size, but in content xD), and will be very tricky. If you do not want to do it for free, I would love to do an art trade (: If you are interested, I'll give you my DA account. Also, as I said before, if more than one person would like to work on it, you could all split it into pieces and work on them separately!

I'll add on to this, with pictures, and examples, etc.

Hi there! I would love to make it, but it seems complicated. So I might just start on the terrain and mask for now...So you want the temples to be hidden in mountains? I will try
