So I pulled the bit I liked from my last one, and over about 8 hours, tinkered with it til I liked it, slash was tired... Done in Photoshop on a graphire, NO external textures, photo refs or anything (which for the hardcore people explains why the math might be off on the folds, sun, perspective-dof, etc). I just wanted it to look very hot and barren. The fantasy bit: So she became knowledgeable enough to escape her homeland. Her initial creation from the ether was something that frightened her as a child, a rhino. The creation of course was a bipedic attempt at it. It worked, as it scared all the people in her way, ya know, the ones with scimitars. But traveling with a newly created beasty in the astral is very difficult, they spook very easily. Since this was based on an animal, she figured she would appear somewhere hot and barren, so it could chill out fer a sec. The image is her soothing it with soft words, so she can get back into the astral and continue her journey... Thanks for looking
