I definitely recommend it! I've been using it to help with art block, spending hours rendering in forrests and then taking the camera and slowly going through them, taking tons of different shots that look interesting or may inspire me. It's been a big help in getting me to do art again, and it's made getting inspiration for backgrounds a lot easier. You can find some pretty unique shots. A lot of the time I've been shooting and then re-creating the shots in my own imagery, others like this one I paint over the image to blend it into a painted foreground and give the illusion that it's all one layer/image.
The biggest suggestion I can give is to not go into it wanting to make a singular scene unless you need a specific reference, but rather bring something to life and allow yourself to get multiple scenes from it.

MaskedLin I can agree, I wouldn't use it for a one-off area. I was thinking more along the lines of creating commonly frequented places, like a specific pond the main character spends time at or his neighborhood. For more general areas, I'd have maps and specific place shots. I imagine it would be awesome to look at the areas in that way
That sounds like an excellent way to approach the piece, I originally got flowscape so it could assist me when designing areas that would be seen multiple times in my story, as it will be a comic. It certainly worked out here, which makes me a bit excited for using it myself. I look forward to seeing more of your work
