I found this picture more or less randomly, which lead me to this blog. Check out the artist's other pieces of artwork, too.

oh thats so beautiful, wish we could do that level of detail in tdm!

[Mortem Desino]

Hot dang! That's why we love concept artists!

Almost every painting in that blog is incredible, even the "rough" ones! Wow, amazing stuff, tuggs at my heartstrings in some sort of longing manner - I wish to explore those worlds, and I feel a sort of "loss" knowing they aren't real

One of these days I will build a Narrow/Tall "Melan esk" city map like the image above....

I spent literally about five minutes looking at Melan's posted pic, imagining how great it'd be to clamber over it in TDM. (Five minutes sounds like a pathetically short amount of time, but I can't remember when I just sat looking at one picture for that long on a computer screen.)

 

Living in it would probably be a nightmare though.

You know I am so tempted to have a quick go at doing a asic mockup this evening, or maybe ripping parts of my Elixier map so I can make it look more like this.

So, no one is goingo to build the scene in darkmod? If so I'll.

[Bikerdude]

Well I was gonna create a basic outline of it, your welcome to then take that and detail it up..

[SiyahParsomen]

@Biker I will just build the scene, take couple of shots and leave it. I don't have any plan to release it in any form. I hope you won't leave it!

[Bikerdude]

A scene is good, lets see what we can come up with :-)

I've just uploaded an album with some pictures from Schloss Bürresheim, in the Eifel, Germany.

 

This small castle would make the perfetc mission. The entrance is a dark, gloomy, twisted passage that leads up and emerges in the middle of a small courtyard, fromthe twisted passage you can look into some bury chamber (!), but not access it. There are two parts, the nice still-used part (Mayener Burg), and an old, relict place (Kölner Burg),

Makes me itch to do some mapping...

 

There is only a German Wikipedia page, tho: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_B%C3%BCrresheim

Just because this question might arise:

Shows a small door, which is used to access the "drop zone", e.g. the canal that leads down from the toilets. So the waste could be cleaned out safely from the ground from the outside. Might be an alternative entry
