Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 6301248" data-attributes="member: 50895">I am currently working on a set of 50 (maybe 100) photo-realistic map symbols under the theme: "Gothic Horror". While I have about 25 objects created so far, and ideas for a dozen more, I really need 50, and if I get enough ideas, maybe I'll do 100 symbols. The problem is some symbol concepts evoke "gothic horror" less than others, I want a solid collection that really fit the theme, so I need to validate inclusions.So far I have created or plan to create:Open Graves/Coffins - I've created 8 separate open graves to coffins, both open and closed, from rock cut tombs to ornate gothic, satin-lined coffins. I also plan to create a variety of dressed corpses (men, women, children, elderly) to inhabit those graves.Torture Chamber - the rack with an occupant, iron maiden with one door open, chair with head and thumb screws, heated spikes and burning coal brazier, impaling pikes with bodies, perhaps a few more.Vivisectionist Operating Table - one object is a set of 19th century surgical instruments laid out ready to be used, an operating table, some body parts, maybe a partially constructed flesh golem/Frankenstein's monster, also kind of oddball a tank of electric eels for a source of energy...Fortune Teller's Table - a full reading display of tarot cards, crystal ball, laid out and partially rolled astrological chart, table with ornate tablecloth, maybe curtains or hanging beads, maybe a full vardo (Romani wagon).Some Aristocratic Furnishings - an ornate bath tub, a 4 post master bed with unseen figure sleeping in it, candalabra standing and a tabletop one, perhaps an ornate couch and chair, desk full of interesting stuff on it, marble bust, and displayed suit of armor.Wizardly accoutrement - grimoire and scrolls, lab equipment, miasma in various colors (red, green, pale blue and white), a still, ornate cages for living components, magic square and solomic circles, perhaps a negative energy sphere, vials and bottles of components.Plague accoutrement - piles of bodies, wagon full of bodies, pyre of bodies, miasma torches.What else can you think of that fits the concept of Gothic horror, understanding we're talking objects that could be displayed on maps?</blockquote>
