    It's just my lil homage to a certain, uh, interesting group of islands in the Mediterranean that may, or may not, be home to a certain fabled city. Of course my islands look nothing like Santorini but oh well I'm just messing around with mtn techniques.

    For tonight I've been mostly experimenting on the mtns (about 6 hours) but eventually just threw my hands in the air and gave up. So I added some more texture to the land and some minor coastal tweaks...nothing post-worthy. Next up I really want to do something about my horrid Atlantis rings and then I'll do the rivers, towns and such.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

    Wasn't that a volcanic explosion that ripped out that section of the island?

    Though I supposed that could indeed be the origin of Atlantis stories, given that the resulting tidal wave was supposed to have utterly annihilated Minoan civilization.
