Title: In The Land Of The Jinn
Post by: schmeerlap on July 25, 2010, 06:24:22 AM
. . . . and I came upon a strange land
of onion domes, and fantasy towers.
And I was suddenly overcome with a feeling
that was part fear and part wonder.
And then I saw him, perched atop one of the towers,
crouching, with his arms hugging his knees.
And I knew that the land I had come upon
was the land of the Jinn,
And that he was waiting for me.

I used Rich2's Mojoliths clipfile, faffed about with it for a bit, and finally came up with this.

By the way, if you can't see the Jinn, you're probably not taking the same pills I am.  ;D

Great Image! It's like gold. If you were to make the lower rocks and sand a bit duller/darker, they golden towers would really be gold.

Jinns (genies); think an old TV comedy series, "I Dream of Genie", or Ali Baba, or even Sinbad and you're probably more in ancient Persia (Iran), or maybe even Iraq (Thief of Baghdad an all). You'll come accross them in the literature of Sufism.

If I do another on this theme I'll certainly heed the contrast advice, Dune, maybe make the domes and towers smoother too.
