The Phalli of Min

Lost the tip of my distant pillar when I did the final render; eventually managed to retrieve it when I got the right shape crop around it for the supplementary crop render. Stitched it back on in Photoshop (Yes, it did hurt).
Yep, Eoin, there's a few jpeg break up lines in the bottom right corner. For your info: AA was at max 11, and, no I didn't apply any post sharpening in Photoshop.

Woaw, what a mood in this picture!
I like the two peni... I mean, the two stone "piles"

Hey Schmeerlap, your moody falli reminded me of a quite similar scene I did a while ago.

Freud would really like this thread

Well executed

Great sand texturing, and the sand storm adds to the realism.

I'm thinking "double-edged sword" here. Could be heading for a "mine's is bigger than yours" thing here, or a "who's in need of the most compensation" exercise

Hope I didn't open a can of worms.
Hey but, Dune, that's a great render; I like the sculp marks on the nearest outcrop, and love those wispy clouds.

As always, your work is interesting and well executed. The sand storm is great. I think I would call the stele 'rock termite mounds' in case any censors are viewing.

What, here at Planetside Forums? Never!
Anyway I've wrapped it up in a protective shroud of culture and mythology. So it should be OK.

Uh-huh . . . . . . and perhaps a few strategically positioned straggly bushes

But amazing how similar thees two renders are
