This is cool. I like it, the altar seems bit out of proportion in comparison to its surroundings. Good work with the shadowing. I thinka quirky twist to the title would be to actually put the earth inside the altar instead of the green globe. Good job, keep it up.

I'm impressed. I agree you did a great job with the shadowing. I kind of like the size of the altar. Nice work.

Agree with both comments, awesome work!
How long did it take to make?

And I agree with Pim...and I, too, would like to know how long you had to shed blood, sweat and tears to come up with this beauty. :)

Thanks for the comments guys... It took about half an hour or 45 minutes to make and about that long to render on my 2.4 GHz machine... I'll be making at least two more in the series (Air & Water). I might also change the look of the Altar of Fire...

Great work - very interesting to look at.

Interesting variation on a theme.

This is a really great picture i really like it nice job.

Did you make this from scratch? Cause I really like it and was just wondering.

Yes, this was made from scratch. Thanks for the comments!

Perfect, Very nice Bryce work

Interesting image...good work.

beautiful shade of green. awesome image.

friggin sweet!

I've been waiting for the inal two altars, I hope they'll be as good as the first two...

I really like this and the shadow work came out perfect super job!!

I like this one. I don't usually leave comments but this I really thought warranted it. I look forward to seeing the Altar of Earth.
