Thank you very much i'm really glad you like it.
As for the image:it was done in TG2 of course and there is one
b/w image involved,the falcon head symbol and some coarse veining.
The image was used for displacement and masking,but the rings and
all the other displacements are pure TG2 stuff,a mix of functions
and powerfractals .I rendered two passes,one general and
one highlight pass, and combined them in a layer based image editing
software with a little sharpening and gaussian blur applied.
It's not the first time that someone thinks of HPL seeing one of my pics,
maybe due to the fact that i have a certain interest in this direction,too.
Thanks again y'all,J.
