This is one of my favorite ancient legends and you have illustrated it beautifully! Well done!
I like it! 
It's not as high-definition as the one I used to like most, but this one is more correct in terms of geography, elephants, & celestial bodies.
Which elephant do you think is which, by the way? Mr Pratchett only ever named the elephants in The Colour of Magic, & it was never specified which elephant had which name.

Terry Pratchettes disc world
World is flat and going around on the backs of five dancing elephants who fly across the Galaxy by turtle. I don't remember how were the moon and the sun attached to it, but i think it was clockwork mechanism?
Anyway. Terry is genius and this picture is great

Four elephants, actually, though there is a Discworld book called "The Fifth Elephant". And no clockwork as far as I know 
Yesss, I LOVE everything he's written <3. Thank you!

Amazing. That is probably the best picture of the discworld I've ever seen. Wait, it's the only picture of the Discworld I've ever seen. Which makes it better than the pictures in my head.
PythosartHobbyist Digital Artist
Really? It's the only one? In that case you should seriously consider buying the Art of Discworld, illustrated by Paul Kidby. It's very good 
absolutely awesome
