Door In The Dragon's Throat

I was approached a while ago to illustrate a couple of scenes from a book for a potential low budget movie pitch. Not sure if anything came of it though.

This is a scene from the start of the book where the Sheik shows the main characters what has been discovered in the desert - the dead area of land with the hole at the center, nicknamed "The Dragon's Throat"


I created the hole and surrounding desert in 3D in Lightwave to scale according to the book and rendered it out, then with that as scale reference, I painted over it in photoshop with a collage of still images from the web.
