Description
The place where the story happens was a world on the back of four elephants perched
on the shell of a giant turtle. That's an advantage of space. It's big enough to hold
practically anything, and so, eventually, it does.
People think that it is strange to have a turtle ten thousand miles long and an
elephant more than two thousand miles tall, which just shows that the human brain is
ill-adapted for thinking and was probavly originally designed for cooling the blood.
It believes that mere size is amazing.
There is nothing amazing about size. Turtles are amazing and elephants are quite
astonishing. But the fact there's a big turtle is far less amazing than the fact
that there is a turtle anywhere.

This is a first version of the picture. Right now I'm working at the elephants to get them a little bit in front so you can actually see them.
The discworld is a made after the real discworld map.
The rimfall and the lens flare are postwork of course.

Its about bloody time I saw some Pratchett inspired work here at Renderosity. Anything discworld is just great, and as a first version, Great Atuin is certinally looking good. Anyone else viewing this should Big it upo Massive for Pacifier, as this is just outright cool:) Oh yeah, the turtle textures are just great.

Sounds like Mr. Pratchett is refering to the Native American story of Creation... Good job on Turtle.
