Atlas is the son of the Titan Iapetus and Clymene (or Asia), and brother of Prometheus. Atlas was punished by Zeus and made to bear the weight of the heavens (the idea of Atlas carrying the Earth isn't correct according to the original myth) on his back. One of Heracles's labours was to collect the apples of the Hesperides. Heracles went to Atlas and reasoned with him. Eventually, Atlas agreed to collect the apples, and Heracles was left to carry the weight. Atlas tried to leave Heracles there, but Heracles tricked him and Atlas was left to carry the heavens forever.
I wasn't going to enter this because the other entries are so well done but then I figure, "Hey, someone's gotta come in last place! Why not me!" Just never hurts to try.

Decent chop
Nice entry. Would have liked to see his hands gripping the Earth.
on his back.?????
Good idea. Slightly better in hi-res (spherical nature of the earth more obvious). Lighting a problem: where is the illumination of the earth coming from?
WOW! Atlas looks just like Dexter Jackson!!!
your idea is cool; the only thing I would change is his face expression. Atlas wasn't happy lifting the earth
idea is good
LOL...
