Alrighty. You need something uber inspirational, eh? We can fix that.

... how's *this* for size? Shemeska's Planescape Campaign

We can always use pretty illustrations, and I can definately provide information about what certain characters look like. *starts staring at the volunteer artist entreatingly and posing* Eye-wink

Do you like to draw githzerai? I've always wanted a portrait of Nalla, a former character and now Cutter. She's a psionic monk who favors manifested claws covered in eerie blackness (karach).

A halfway shattered citadel made of crystal and glass lies along the coast. Smooth walls and ground gemstone line various parts of the resonating palace while the razor edge of its broken portions reflect the skyline into a thousand breathtaking and vile colors. This contrasts with the sickly rotting gray of rampaging hordlings who infest the delicate structure, shards of 1 dimensional sharp glass panes sticking out of random portions of their hides. Above them a gathering of nearly transparent wraith stare into the burnished portions of the walls, mouths agape and noiselessly screaming at their reflections. Their will-o-wisp glow provides the only source of light in the fragile sadistic structure called KrystalKnock

Anyway, thats an idea.

Why not draw some cool pictures for Rrakkma? *cough* *cough* *needsubmissions!* *cough*

What about an Astral landscape? Basically, take everything that's cool about outer space, with looming nebulae and stars, and multiply it. Then have streaming colors like the aurora borealis. Welcome to the Silver Void.

I think that mind-bending landscapes are cooler than character portraits of favorite PCs, in terms of what's cool for the site.

Totally, landscapes are really great. The Silver Void or the Ethereal are good, or the Elementals. They're dramatic land(?)scapes no doubt, but no one seems to give them much attention. As far as buildings: Sigil? The Crawling Citadel of Gehenna? The ruins of Pelion? Shrak'lator?

ah yes ive been told to try sigil and that is the best way to get better i suppose. submissions? hmm well first Fonikin needs to learn how to use his scaner. but until then ill just need to be doing work. i deff. gotta get better supplies before i chance ruins or Krystalknock which sounds wicked awesome. ill deff. have to try those other races also. for some reason i always limit myself to humanoid characters only. i suppose its time to broaden the horizons?
