simple boy's house

i like the idea of the house being next to some sort of water source - i played around with the house being on the edge of a cliff with some steps that led down a river, but i really liked the flow of the river coming right out of the two mountains... one smooth motion. i kinda played around as well with the mountain turning into bamboo on the other side to keep that same smoothness factor: i'm personally less and less a fan of the little houses in the back the more i look at it, but i wanted some way to convey that they were part of a city, albeit somewhat secluded
