If you're working on something from here keep going, but I'm starting a new thread to keep things clear. Thanks!

Second set:
- terrible haunted mansion on a lake, maybe with an elasmosaur peeking out of the water
- a party fighting said elasmosaurs and a giant maggot-thing (maggoth) on the shore by the mansion
- (I'd really like this one) a semi-insane dwarven warrior ghost
- an entry room with 3 doors, a greataxe dripping blood hung over the one in the middle
- vroats
- an evil bandit gang led by an axe-wielding gnoll, with an axe-wielding gnorc, a rapier-wielding stealthy half-orc, and a flail-wielding gnoll as his cohort
- bubble men
- a wizard's library inhabited by a flesh golem and 7 skeletons (maybe with slight hints of electrical energy around a couple of the skeletons)
- morghouls
- a sulfuric mud elemental
- a vampusa 'game warden' with a pack of moondogs
- an incubus trapped in a summoning circle
- 2 deodanths, one a warrior and the other a combat-competent mage
- a deadly black dragon
- grey horrors and yellow perils
- a nice bottle of whimsey wine
As you can see, these are generally Arduin-themed. Any help would be appreciated.

I can draw the Elven Knight. Is there a style of armor he is to be wearing or a drawn weapon showing? I'll probably fill the background with my usual boxy frame...

Weapons should be lance/sword/bow; armor should be slim, stylized plate. Nothing needs to be drawn, though pointed lances and drawn swords are always fun. You can go with your own vision of elves, though...I want this to be fun for the artists as well as the writers! And thanks!

Generic dungeoneering pictures of any stripe would also be very welcome. If anyone wants to channel Tom Wham that might be a fun approach to these...

a semi-insane dwarven warrior ghost I'm thinking about trying my hand at a dwarven ghost. Could you tell me more about this ghost? Is he supposed to be evil, funny, scary, friendly? Is there a description of what this ghost looks like, or is it wide open? |

Hi Trollman!
If you want to take a crack at the ghost that's cool, he's a major character in the adventure, but I should say there's already one person working on a pic of him, so that would be a second. Someone also took the incubus, and of course labsenpai did a bang-up job on the elf knight.
Email me for details (this name at gmail) if you want the ghost, or I'll get in touch with you about some other stuff shortly. Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm!

If someone has already done a dwarf ghost, I can do something else. Just lemme know what is still needed. I should be able to crank something out during the next couple of weeks. Right now, I'm still just studying those old Otus & Trampier drawings.  |

Some of these would be especially cool:
- terrible haunted mansion on a lake, maybe with an elasmosaur peeking out of the water
- a party fighting said elasmosaurs and a giant maggot-thing (maggoth) on the shore by the mansion
- an entry room with 3 doors, a greataxe dripping blood hung over the one in the middle
- an evil bandit gang led by an axe-wielding gnoll, with an axe-wielding gnorc, a rapier-wielding stealthy half-orc, and a flail-wielding gnoll as his cohort

What is a gnorc and a deodanth?

I have to imagine a gnorc is an Arduinism, but it sounds like a cross between a gnoll and an orc to me...
A deodanth, unless Hargrave messed with them, is from Vance's Dying Earth and were usually described as tall, muscular, inky black humanoids with malign features, oily, compelling voices and a talent for convincing prey to give itself up for dinner...

Kesher's got it. Arduin deodanths sometimes have a slightly feline and/or vampiric cast, and they like to use rapiers, but taking them straight from Vance's deodands won't send you too far wrong either.

I don't know anything about Arduin or Vance, so I'll leave those alone. Can you PM me the info about the haunted house? I'd like to make sure I draw a house that matches the one in the text. |

If someone wants to try to do a gondola-like airship made out of mystical metal, either by itself (easier) or floating through a world of strands, that would be a big help for this issue. It would be an illustration for a Steve Marsh article if that attracts any ambitious folks.
PM sent, Trollman - thanks!

I apologize, I will not be able to contribute any art to Fight On! Sending a PM to calithena to explain why.
