Random pictures for you all.

I this sketched of one of my prior characters. I'm pretty convinced its generic enough that no one would recognize who it was, probably about 500 characters look like that at any given time right? Heh. Curse me for using lined paper, though.

Also, that GDB montage that some of you were rather fond of is still online.

http://155.33.72.184:23/masterz/gdbmt.jpg

I didn't draw this, found it on www.deviantart.com I believe, but its pretty badass. An elf with a magick obsidian sword maybe?

http://155.33.72.184:23/masterz/vondros.jpg

Fake BaoBob fanart I posted on the GDB some time ago.

Share and enjoy.

Oh sure, Big Sword Guy, I remember him.   :P

Let's see what I've got in my virtual pocketsess:

Not specific to Arm, but some of them are sort of Armish:
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/pc/pc20030218b

Armish style weapons (ok, they are Darksun weapons, but don't tell anybody):
http://webhome.idirect.com/~rpblack/ds/dsweap.htm

Some Darksun fan art:
http://home.earthlink.net/~raste/art.html

A pretty map of Zalanthas:
http://www.armageddon.org/HyperNews/get/general-archive2001/806/2.html


Here's a page with links to big pictures of the cover art of various DS products:
http://www.flash.net/~brenfrow/ds/ds.htm

Like these:







And of course the official Darksun website has some art scattered throughout, plus many links to other Darksun websites:

*drools*  Look at the size of that Ratlon...

Lord Templar Hard Nose returns to the stables, carefully searching.

Lord Templar Hard Nose is here, mounted upon a gigantic, shell-saddled ratlon.

ANIMAL CRACKERS pulled through again! Woot woot!


Creeper who spent alot of time chatting with people, and not even about Arm... Damn them people that look kind of like deformed guys... What are they again?

Post by: on February 08, 2003, 09:08:46 AM
See, it doesn't look like a ratlon or an erdlu to me.

Maybe a sunback?

Post by: Delerak on February 08, 2003, 05:08:34 PM
Thats what erdlus look like.  They are featherless birds with wings.

Post by: Eternal on February 08, 2003, 05:14:39 PM
Hey, that thing doesn't have wings, and it has scales... like a ratlon
Title: pics
Post by: Delerak on February 08, 2003, 05:18:18 PM
That's because its a darksun picture, they don't have wings on darksun.

Post by: Delerak on February 09, 2003, 12:21:08 AM
You think that's huge? Inix are six times the size of a human.  Kanks are even larger.  Erdlu are capable of wreaking great damage in a fight, because they are quick and strong.  The guy in the pic is SMALL that's why you think the erdlu looks huge, that guy probably weighs 140 lbs.  Put a mul on top of that erdlu and he wont look that big.
Title: pics
Post by: creeper386 on February 09, 2003, 12:46:40 AM
Hmm.... That thing is huge, unless it's legs are really short it looks to be upwards of 15 hands tall at the back, think thats about a warhorse size, about 6 foot at the back at least... It looks really big, I thought erdlus were more like, four/five foot at back or so, if not abit shorter.


Creeper who doesn't have anymore pictures to share.

Post by: Delerak on February 09, 2003, 12:49:29 AM
Well, remember erdlus can carry muls/humans/dwarves in darksun, they aren't little pieces of crap that can only carry  130 lb people, though they will only take a mul/human a few hundred feet before running out of steam.  Thats why kanks are usually used.

Hmm, you may be right.  It's got a beak and all, but those handlike forepaws threw me off.  On the other hand, try to explain vestrics.  Vestrics are just messed up.  Then again, explain platypusses, I guess there are some freaky animals even here on Earth.

Anyway, I discovered something much more interesting about that picture.  His saddle has stirrups!  Stirrups, I say!  Long, long ago in a thread far away someone argued that without sturrups cavelry would suck, which explains the heafty penalties to mounted combat.  Darksun having stirrups doesn't guarentee the existance of Zalanthan stirrups, but it does show that they are at least possible.   :P

Post by: Delerak on February 09, 2003, 01:09:04 AM
Bleh, I emoted stirrups all the time when I wasn't an elf and actually rode mounts.  Just they were bone, and also the darksun novels have a LOT more steel then armageddon, mainly because all of the characters you read about are very exceptional and are defilers, muls, thri-kreen, etc, even Kings, I just love reading about sorcerer-kings, especiall Urik's.

From the last Prism Pentad I believe (need to re-read them)

Rikus looks over the glass bowl and contents.
Rikus says "What sorceroy is this Hamanu? Rocks that bleed water?"

Hamanu says "It is called Ice, Rikus the Mul..I have power you could never imagine.."

Bah, an inix bred with an erdlu is a ratlon... and that's what that thing looks like to me... a big scaly erdlu.
Title: pics
Post by: on February 09, 2003, 10:34:47 AM
Well, I don't even think we can draw too many Parralels to Darksun anymore. Since as far as I know, Inix are larger than Kanks on Zalanthas (According to their tracks at least...) Erdlu are smaller than Kanks, have feathers and wings...
Title: pics
Post by: Delerak on February 09, 2003, 11:17:02 AM
Ratlon are erdlu and kanks, not inix.
Title: pics
Post by: Fedaykin on February 09, 2003, 12:10:22 PM
Sorry, you're wrong, it is most definetly erdlu and inix.

I'd paste a desc of one which states exactly that fact, but that would probably be crossing the line into IC information, which may have been crossed already as is.
Title: pics
Post by: Delerak on February 09, 2003, 12:15:43 PM
I thought I saw somewhere in the documentation kank/erdlu.  Inix/erdlu, No wonder they are hard to breed!!

The huge green inix plods over to a diminutive, shy erdlu, his tongue darting out to lick each eyeball.

A diminutive, shy erdlu backs into a corner, crying and bleating.

Am I the only one here who's always imagined erdlu as basically looking like ostriches?

Drat, I thought that the fact that they were erdlu/inixes was in the docs... hmm, somebody slap me, I may have crossed the line.
Title: pics
Post by: Fedaykin on February 09, 2003, 05:40:46 PM
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, heh.

Its nothing most of the fairly experienced players probably don't know already, and nothing which isn't stated in the desc of most ratlons if you happen to see one :)
Title: pics
Post by: on February 09, 2003, 06:29:43 PM
I had a ratlon once... never really gave the desc a good read-through though, since for some reason I imagined them to look like tontons from Star Wars Episode V.
Title: pics
Post by: Fedaykin on February 09, 2003, 06:43:08 PM
I always picture inix as the Dewbacks which were included in Star Wars Episoder IV: A New Hope Special Edition.

Um, ok, but what sort of creature is it?  Erdlu, ratlon, sunback or something else?  Just from the colouring I'd guess sunback.

I don't know, it looks even less ostrichy to me then the original pic did.

Here's an idea, why not everyone try to find pictures that are close to what all the zalanthas animals look like? You can get a general description from the Animal Docs (http://www.armageddon.org/general/beasts.html) so I don't imagine it's going over the IC barrier.

I made this a little while back for the game Dune Generations which went defunct, then looking at it I realized it could be Zalanthas if I just added in the known world.
