Edge Of the Earth

Hello all,
Iv'e been thinking about this idea for a while now and i think i am ready to make it. It is gonna be a picture of the edge of the world. Here's a photoshop test of what i am going to do using photos from the net.

Great idea. Good job on the concept. So just wondering. What is at the end of the earth. It looks like you have a ship full of the end of the earth, only to full into more ocean. Correct me if im wrong.

Love the idea.


There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.

thanks

The waterfall atm was a pic of the niagra falls.
I don't want it to just be a massive waterfall going into nothing so having just ocean at the end with broken ships makes it more interesting. (that or maybe there are more waterfalls afterwards and this is just the beginning)

Here's some progress on the cabin of one of the boats. The railing will be done with texturing and so will the ladder, stairs ect.

Very cool idea indeed!
