Day 25 - Atmosphere
Atmosphere - "relating to the atmosphere of the earth."
Here's a bit about the concept. The sword is for celestial beings and they can slot a planet into the sword and use the energy of the planet's atmosphere to power the sword. This process is unknown to the inhabitants of the planet.
Now take a moment and imagine if this is what is actually happening to us right now. The atmosphere is being destroyed cuz of some celestial being is fighting with our planet slotted in its sword. The ultimate reason for climate change!

I had the chance to experiment and create this with some new techniques I've never used before. I'm glad that it turned out alright. The output itself feels like a nice birthday gift :)
I'm sure I could have done this a lot better if I had used dynamics and fluid simulations. But I would have gone mad for sure. ​
