Artist's Comments

This is the first illustration in a two part assignment for my Electronic Illustration class. Inspired by creation myths in the Discworld novels. What if the Great A'Tuin fell asleep? The second illustration will be up by the end of the semester. Done in Corel Painter X, 6x9

Thats an amazing piece of work all over, but if I had to point out one thing, (I'm a huge fan of Terry Pratchet), The water is flowing from everywhere into space, not just certain points.

Haha I'm glad you realized that, only a true fan would! I did as well, but it was a debate between authenticity and a better illustration, and since a grade was depending on this, I went for the better visuals. If I had made the water flowing from all parts at this viewing angle, it would have obscured the elephants and a lot of the cool detail I wouldn't have gotten to render otherwise. I'm glad an avid Pratchett fan like myself enjoys it :D

"You do not have to BELIEVE in the turtle. The turtle is REAL." xD Great job!
