Calling all artist!!! Are you looking for inspiration, have some free time on your hand, or just not sure what to draw up, well let see if this can help move you forward.
I have been playing RPGs for some time, but the one thing I have never really been good at is the graphical recreation of mental images. (I say it this way to be as politically correct as I can as there are people who would argue the definition of what an “artist” is.) So specifically I am looking for an artist who is highly proficient in drawing/painting/computer-aided graphics or any combination of.
I had played a campaign a while back and had always wanted a scenery recreation of the in game Grotto that was created by my character, though I have not been able to find someone who would/could freely recreate this for me. If there is any artist out there who would be willing to volunteer some of their time because they feel inspired to do a visual re-creation of a verbal description for me, I would be most honored and appreciative.
Once I do have a beautifully recreated image of it, I will eventually attempt a Diorama of it but I first need an image of it so I can induce motivation to complete my “Man cave/hobby room” so I have a place to stage it.
Any interested parties please let me know.
This Magic Grotto known as the Deeping Forest and is home to its Keeper Ky'vala, a highly powerful Druid Mystic.
Part way up the side of a mountain bluff is an enormous three quarter crescent of sheer cliff carved out of it. The bottom of the crescent is filled with a huge lake that flows out of the crescent's mouth forming a river running down the rest of the mountain side. In the center of the crescent Hovering high above the lake is a colossal forested island. Three waterfalls are visible pouring from This hovering island, two are spilling over the flat surface top, while the third seems to be coming from a large cave entrance on the island’s belly, all are pouring down into the lake.
A small dense forest covers the entire surface top of this hovering island, at the heart of the forest resides a colossal tree soaring over the top of all the rest. The island looks as though it is being kept from floating away by the titan sized vines and roots jutting out from the bottom of the Island and attaching to the cliff surface.
The Colossal Tree in the center of the forest is known as heart tree, it is oddly hourglass shaped with a large flat crown of leaves that span nearly 1000 feet diameter and stands upwards of 700 feet, with a twisting core of expanding roots nearly as wide as its base. The next tallest trees in the forest are dwarfed in comparison reaching heights of 100 feet.
Magically formed, twisted, intertwined living branches camouflage within it crown is an intricately worked palace.
The floating Island is approximately 1 mile in diameter and 1/2 mile deep from tree surface to bottom of the belly. The crescent is approximately 2 miles from bottom of lake to the highest point on the bluff walls, and nearly 2 miles in diameter.
The river flowing from the tops and sides of the island originate from somewhere near Heart tree.
If you are an interested party please let me know publicly or via PM your choice.
