Forest that looks like FTV dryad arbor

Hey, hope this is the correct forum, I heard that there is a foil forest that looks just like the FTV dryad arbor and wondered just how close they look to each other. Does anyone know what set it was from or have a picture?
Sorry for the double post, but I must say these two cards look a lot like each other.

I swear, this is my last post:
Wait a second... The Origins land is a remake of the lorwyn one?

@The_Raven The origins one does look like a more high resolution image of the lorwyn one, but at the bottom they have different artist.

The Origins and Lorwyn forest are incredibly similar. The biggest difference I can see is the tree in the foreground on the right hand side has a different shape.

To me the only real difference is that the origins image looks sharper and more defined and the lorwyn image doesn't necessarily look blurry but definitely not as sharp and clear, more like a painting where you can see the strokes.
As far as the tree your talking about, It just looks like they slightly zoomed in on the picture in the origins version. So the tree is closer to the edge of the card in the picture and the branch that goes off to the right was cut off by the boarder. It looks like it happened slightly on the left side of the card as well. I tried zooming in, and it's not the easiest to see but it does appear that a branch is being cut off by the boarder and that there is a little bit of leaves between the boarder and the branch going up so it's a thinner branch like in the lorwyn image.

I think you're right. Weird. I wonder if they know they messed this up. Lol

So, I may have become a little too obsessed with looking at forest... Now, I found this:
Another two cards almost identical to each other. Does anyone know, if there is a story behind this? Or were the artist just lazy?

Well, one of the Origin stories was Nissa going to Lorwyn, so they're probably intentional references.

Yeah, they did the same thing with the other basic lands:

I guess the Origins ones get new artist credit because it was a different artist who touched up the original arts then.
Though the swamps both credit Jung Park, but the images don't look different so I guess it wasn't touched up.

A quick google search found this:
Don't know how much they look alike....
