not been doing much art lately due ot health issues, but still doing some ;)
Dark Sun and Spelljammer are my faves, sorry Realmsians, when I do "generic" D&D it's usually "Realmsian" as I see the Realms as "normal D&D" if that makes sense?
anyway, new piece for Dark Sun
What matters Man, in the face of such barren majesty?

This image has inspired some great new things for my home Dark Sun campaign. Thanks! |

bladeinAm,
*boiws* thank you :)
Anauroch has always seemed more interesting/eerie than Calimshan, IMHO |

This'd be a great template for a (mis)adventure in the Calim or Anauroch deserts. Or really any desert setting. Excellent work, Silverblade. |

yet another version, trying to get the olive green look of the sky as it's described in the novels etc :)

Tharamarth,
cheers! :)
been working for years ot get good atmospheres/skies for Athas, as it' snot easy since it's so weird!
one day I'll put these atmospheres up as freebies for Vue, on my site i.e. the skies I've designed, as fee items for anyone who uses Vue to make 3D art, doen same for Bryce
this is a freebie Bryce sky I did for Dark Sun about 8 years ago (display thumbnail)

Blimey. That captures the Athas Atmosphere perfectly. I'm definitely going to hang on to that one. Hats off. |

Wooly Rupert, The Sage,
cheers guys! :)
one reason I do this kind of stuff is to inspire folk to play so it's great when folk use it as inspiration in their games :)
and to maybe nudge WOCT into making Dark Sun and SPelljammer (my other fave art setting) as campaign settings again
well, one done, one to go! ;)
oh another tweaked version, joy of digitla art is it's easier to fiddle around with it ;)

Indeed. I can definitely see myself using this imagery for my "eventual" DARK SUN campaign that I plan to run early next year, with the new 4e books supplementing material I've extensively drawn from the older 2e DS sources.

I find it an impressive bit of artwork. |

Kno,
Dark Sun's "sun" is meant ot be like that ;)
It's not just a "red Giant", it's been warped by several acts that "tapped" it's power, but screwed it up as a result
it looks more like lava than a normal sun and is enormous
If you check some of the 4th and 2nd ed official art you'll see what I mean :)
Dalor
thank you! :) *bows*
Athas has two moons: Ral and Guthay, one may have green vegetation and water on it, though for my art I just leave it dry ;) |

The surface of a star has many hot spots...older stars have more...I think that is how it goes. LOL
Sweet picture though! Very sweet indeed!
I don't know much about the planets, moons and etc. of Dark Sun...what are the two on the left? |
