Free Fantasy Architecture II (New Stuff 5/3/2005)

OK, some new stuff. Here's KidCharlemagne's University clocktower in the Plane of Shadow. Notice that this one goes to thirteen...

I'll let KidCharlemagne tell the story.

Actually, I would love to hear stories from anyone who used stuff from here or the old thread in a game. Someone posted a reply in the gallery (before it shut down) about how the crystal bridge featured in a big fight and the villain got impaled on one of the pointy crystal structures. I thought that was great.

And here is the evil Fey tower that KidCharlemagne's hapless PCs saw in the Shadow Plane. Unfortunately, he couldn't get them inside or up on the precarious bridge that he specifically wanted to include for a fantastic battleground. Stupid uncooperative PCs.

Here's a few more. In case it wasn't apparent, this is the tower that appeared to be in the snow globe.

Here are some of the previous renders in black and white. Slowly working on the Gorgos Pit.

Hmm. Some sort of board weirdness going on.

 

[XCorvis]

Wow, these are great.

Any chance we can get them bundled up together in a zip file?

 

[XCorvis]

Double post, darn it.

 

[KnidVermicious]

Thanks XCorvis.

Now let's see if this works.

Good. The board kept telling me the files were in progress of being uploaded so I couldn't upload them again, and I couldn't delete them. Luckily it just reset itself overnight.

 

[KnidVermicious]

Here are two zipfiles. I had to split them because they were too big. One has all the tower pics and the other all the wizard school.

A question:

I'm actually shrinking down these pictures quite a bit and converting them from bmp to jpeg. I realize I could post larger jpegs (the bmps are way too huge) and because of the nifty thumbnail feature it wouldn't slow the page loading. How big a file would be appropriate? I don't want to clog up Morrus's servers with gigantor images, but bigger pics might look better.

Any recommendations?

 

[XCorvis]

Groovy, thanks for the zips!

Just convert the bmps to jpegs, but make sure you don't make the quality too low. For your reference, bmps are huge because they don't have any compression. Converting them to jpgs should be enough, so even if you post the larger versions, you're still saving bandwidth (over the bmps, anyway).
