Sulfur or lichen?

 Some highlights from a recent terragen. Experimenting with hostile atmospheres and sheared/distorted terrain. Pushing parameters to glitching point in order to explore the fuzzy edges of possible landscapes.


Dust and aerosol filled atmosphere with approaching solar terminator.

 
 Sulfur aerosols and sheared beds.


Highland terrain above cloud bank with either sulfur dusting or prolific growth of yellow lichen.

As the terragen evolved with tweaks to various parameters, a copy was saved and later compiled to create this GIF.
