SciFi and Fantasy Art: Flatworld

It was once believed that world was flat, resting on the back of four giant elephants, standing on the back of a giant turtle as big as the world. This is a sketch, I'll finish it one of these days...

reminds me of a picture in my Biology book of all places... its a semi-sphere world on the back of three elephants standing on a giant tortoise. with a cobra biting its tail around the whole bit. Hindu legend apparently. then the layers of heaven and whatnot on the top o' the world... more elephants... yeah. Biology book. The caption is about how facts can change as knowledge grows 2

I believe it was a tortois on which the elephants stood, or that was believed in some lands in Asia.

:-) Frederick Brown Althot replies: "Yes, according to the original legend, I think you're right, but this is very much inspired by a popular series of novels wich someone has alreaddy mention in a comment..."

I once tried to draw The Great A'tuin in my dayplanner and it turned out to be... well, crap. This is really good though! I like the flippers on the turtle. 2

Dude that's so cool. But you do know that the elephants they walk in a circle and I'm preety sure that they can't do that sideways.
