What happened to the skull of Apache chief Mangas Coloradas is the subject of much speculation. He surrendered under a flag of truce, but was betrayed by us palefaces, brutally tortured and beheaded.

I thought it would be a friendly gesture to sculpt his head out of a prominent rocky outcrop using Terragen 2 and Photoshop as my chisels.
The general terrain is etched out of a Power Fractal using another PF as a Blend by mask. The ruts in the sand are from an Image Map used as displacement.

I hope I realise I don't exist before I apparently die.

Cool weavy strata!
Very nice work so far. Perhaps you could add some boulders/rockbeds here and there for extra interest and details.
