The world tree for the cosmology of Rhune: Dawn of Twilight. I've gone into more detail on my blog about the process, and with close ups on the individual world gates: [link]The background in this uses some of the photos by the Hubble space telescope that are in the public domain: [link]

Thanks - it was a really unusual map to be challenged with - I was relieved when it worked out!

beautifully worked, and the rings circling the roots and upper trunk just add to the picture.

I like the seeming simplicity of this cosmology map (you make it look easy!

Thanks a lot. The simplicity actually made this one quite tricky. On many maps you get a sense of the piece through layers of details - but on this one there's so much empty space. I'm pleased with how it turned out - especially the world gates.

I adore this. I'd offer some sort of constructive comment, but I cant think of one. Tis awsome though!

That was fun to do - there's actually a texture taken from a photo I took of a real tree and turned into a brush in there. Not sure it really comes through, but helped give a sense of the bark. Thanks for the fave.
