A specific and rather selfish thread, I shall be posting some concept descriptions for artwork that I'm keen on getting produced for the eldar colony world. If there is anyone that is generally interested in producing eldar artwork then please post here... I'll got those concept descriptions to you as soon as possible but, as a taster, they will include such things as natural locations (waterfalls known as the 'Tears of Isha') to more abstract representations (a representation of the Infinity Circuit as a 'world tree')... All of these are related to both the eldar colony world and some fiction that I shall post to that board in the near(ish) future. Kage

Artwork for the Infinity CircuitAlthough it is only a 'work in progress', if somewhat length in my typically verbose style, the "Walking the Infinite" has my interpretation of the Infinity Circuit of the eldar and maybe found at: Seems like it would be a fairly abstract piece of art but does anyone fancy taking up this difficult task? Artwork for the 'Clan Council' If someone fancies, the following descriptions could be used to generate art on the 'Clan Council' of a craftworld, the basic form of which will more than likely be found upon the craftworld colony (as a form of captive government)... A bit fragmented, but it is copied and pasted from another board where there was a short-lived PBF (much like the forum itself! ) Clan Tattoo ArtworkAnother thing that I wouldn't mind looking at is the concept of the 'tattoos' used to display Clan affilitation in my interpretation of the eldar which, obviously, I'm using as a focus for the eldar of the craftworld colony. (Otherwise there would be too little 'fluff' to actually create a colony world of any interest!) Kage

CELS managed to remind me about Anargo artworks... so hopefully i'll be starting to work on some things soon. The waterfall sounds like fun, but you'll have to be more specific about the other things if i'm going to know what to draw

Well, the Clan Tattoo art is something that I find particularly fascinating. At present only three Clans have been defined: Phoenix, Spider and Dragon. If you're familiar with Goodwin's original concept art produced in WD127 on the 'Aspect tattoos', then this is the type of thing that I'm after, but drawing from the imagery of the Clan icon. I'm fairly sure that there should also be gender differences in the applications of the tattoos... My idea is that some general views of the eldar are given, more than likely the upper torso and face (thankfully just missing the 'private' areas of the female torso). That then forms the template for the other images... As to specific imagery for them. Erm, not entirely sure. They shouldn't entirely obscure the facial features, but nor should they be relegated to something that can be hidden. Remember, however, that they are integrated with clothing... It's a hard balance to find, but there we go. Infinity Circuit... That would be basically whatever sprang to mind after reading the little story. I would imagine that it is going to be fairly abstract and, indeed, one of the few images that might be best suited to colour... Tear of Isha... I'll try and get the story finished so that I can post it here (that's the waterfall one). One other little thing that I wanted to get done was an image of a 'Crystal Garden', a place where they grow the Waystones and other related 'stones' of the eldar... This the kind of thing that you're up for? Kage

Just thought I'd help out with a link. Here you'll find one picture of an aspect warrior patrolling his craftworld, and two pictures of Eldar colonies.

Thanks for that... It's a shame that we couldn't use those resources for the ASP given that they are copyrighted images... Kage

Aye, but it's far cooler to have our own artwork anyway. Any Eldar fan worth his salt will have seen those

Yep, there is that... I'm intrigued as to what people will produce. For the artists out there: Don't be scared doing eldar art just because they are my favourite race. Kage

I'm not. I'm scared because I've never drawn Eldar before... ;D

I'm not. I'm scared because I've never drawn Eldar before... ;D <grin> Well, there is that as well. Don't feel up to the challenge, or do you simply prefer other subjects? Or are you waiting for a description that inspires you? Kage

You should check out some ofthe artbooks by GW if you have not already done so. While horrendously over-priced for what they are, they do occasionally have some good images in. Kage
