Can't see why I nevee attempted this before, I'm a huge fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and after applying water to a person and a galaxy to a plasma ball, I thought, what better way to marry two or more images together than to create the single most fantastical thing in fantasy (save for fish who are also policement, who else saw that cartoon when they were younger?). Plus, a load of elephants sitting atop a giant turtle with a disc shaped world on their backs, how hard could that be. Very hard, it seemed, actually getting the photo's was tough, you'd be surprised how many tutrles photo's there are out there and how many of them didn't even bother to pose should someone need to do something like this. And don't get me started on the elephants. I would like to credit my inspiration to both Terry Pratchett and Paul Kidby, who's actually painted something similar (and a whole lot better) and conviced me that, yes, African elephants look way cooler than Indian elephants.

EDIT
Heh, so I've just realised why, after more than a year, this piece is still recieving favs and comments. Turns out, if you were to search for Discworld on here, this is the first piece that comes up. I'm not sure if I should be pleased about this though, it's nothing but a simple photomanip and there are pictures out there by other artists that have taken a lot more work to achieve. Oh well.
