 Preliminary Art Requests - Darkness Beneath in #14
« Thread Started on Jan 7, 2012, 11:50am »

There will be a lot of cool art opportunities for the upcoming issue, but early bird Kensanata is getting the worm with these requests:

-traveling on the river Styx with giant eels in the water and/or up to 60 ghouls marching on the shore; possibly with a catapult and launching ghouls with kites; possibly with a bulbous demon in a pompous cart surrounded by lemurs and two psychic lampreys
- an underground lake with bubbles popping and floating eyes rising from the water
- orcs on air sharks throwing flasks of green slime
- a panzer ship in Jules Verne steampunk style operated by a crew of forty headless zombies and defended by forty hungry ghoul archers
- the captain of a panzer ship guarded by two brass golems
- a huge reception hall with a stair zig-zagging up five floors at the far end; 300 zombies standing between you and the next door at the top of the stairs
- the mother brain the size of a small house in a liquid behind a blue glass wall, a mind flayer in the same room
- a constant mass of meat and bones and mud pours through a planar gate and drives the turbines and cog wheels of the blood engines; there are several melancholy zombies watching over the mess
- swan ships (can throw hundreds of yards of animated silk up into the air, like fluttering wings; this will break a fall and allow the boat to sail over waterfalls)
- a big cavern; on the ceiling, you see a glowing city with light bubbles and hanging bridges and gray webbing holding everything together
canals with steep walls, and along the walls, thousands of barred windows; cages are hanging from chains, carried by cranes, flocks of imps cling to every handhold and dance around big braziers
- one-eyed crow priestess of the orcs and her four orc witches are bargaining with a hanging tree; its branches are loaded with twitching corpses: armless ghouls are hanging up there, unable to free themselves
- a room with a floor hundred of feet below; in between is a mess of stairs, passages, hanging vats, huge distilling machineries and vats, hundred of vats with half formed creatures churning, trying to climb out, and dissolving again
- a dwarven cave carved into stone; marble columns covered in golden flowers, alcoves housing statues of armed angels, at the very center of the complex under a soaring cupola, illuminated by magic from above is the dwarven slime sorcerer himself, writing in his research notebook and protected by an iron protector golem

There are actually even more (a whale sorcerer? this is going to be awesome) but I thought this was a good start.

Thanks, Ant! No-one has grabbed anything yet, which is OK, because we are still in open submissions! But early help is always much appreciated.

Wow.

I'll probably chime in with some reservations later -- although I'd like to take the air-shark-riding orcs right now if no one else wants them -- but I just wanted to say that just based on the art list alone, this article looks amazing!

I agree with kelvingreen, this sounds like it will be great.

I'll take the "the mother brain the size of a small house in a liquid behind a blue glass wall, a mind flayer in the same room".

Also, what exactly is a panzer ship?

Panzer is German for tank, so I'm thinking of armored ships, World War 1 Fantasy crossover style, fit to ride the river Styx.

No claims from me yet; I just finished a small monster illo for a DB support piece of my own. This is a katydid-centaur-amazon-archer of the Underwild :)

Well, I've drawn an air shark, although I realise I've made a grave error in drawing clouds in the background when it's underground!

I suppose one could argue that it is an air shark out in the open on a raiding mission...

The one I saw on Google+ was so awesome, I hadn't even realized it!
I'd be happy to note that they use smoke grenades to cover their escapes. :)

That sounds like a plausible story; let's run with it!

Here's what I've got sketched for the "underground lake with bubbles popping and floating eyes rising from the water."

Ok, that was enough to give me a chill and a look over the shoulder to see if I was being stalked.... creepy! :o
