I'm not quite sure which Quest he was referring to (the Nintendo 64 game, maybe?), and I haven't heard back from him since. Hopefully he'll be able to tell me more, though.
In the meantime, check out more gorgeous images of the world Plekhanov dreamed up. It really is stunning.
Oh the possibilities. Why do people live in weird mushroom homes? What's the deal with that crazy rune circle? Is that second-to-last pic some kind of sky fortress, or like, a long-dead stone colossus? I MUST KNOW. Fingers crossed that this becomes a thing... someday.
