Sounds like the two Dwarven villages of Ledopolus (north and south) with a bridge under construction.

Must be some atmospheric conditions blotting it out. ;)

Is this a particular location?
I was thinking of Ledopoulus region with what looks like a bridge.

Than you!

Well it' snot meant to be anywhere specific, just evocative of DS, so, you can imagine it where you please! ;)

Hey, you CAN create like that, just takes time ot learn. I got into such art, 10years ago on the Interplay forums for Baldurs gate game, pal posted early Bryce artwork, and my jaw hit the floor...so I got into it ;)

Grabbing dinner, will post in bit, explaing how to learn/get into this stuff. Its not rocket science and much easier than traditional art, IMHO. But time and patience are still needed.

EDIT
*back from dinner* :p

that's my tutorial on "An introduction to digital art".
I'd recommend getting the Personal Learning Edition of Vue, that's my fave app, but everyone has their own faves. There's a full, free, legit version of bryce from Download.com (version 5.5 iirc) as an alternate. Another, similar app is Carrara.

The pic I made, here, I used MOJOWORLD to make. very peculiar app. It makes entire worlds, and you can walk around or randomly jump around ot find a nice render spot. I have the Pro version, so I added the wyvvern, bridge and tower as imports from Poser (also own Poser and bought lots of content for it)

mojoworld3 Viewer (renderer) free here at bottom of page
http://www.pandromeda.com/downloads/
probably need to register iirc. There's many "worlds" you can load into the Viewer, you can download from the net.
I used a version of "Copperwine Continents" by Armand Auseklis, tweaked with different atmospheres sun etc to get "Athas-like".
So, Mojoworld is less like my normal work in Vue, where I build the scene backdrop, isntead I roam around a world to find a bit I like the look of, tweak away to get it better, maybe add things.

Wow Silverblade thanks!

Now, if you could stop time while I learn it, that would be even better! ;)

Seriously, thanks!

Dunsel,
my pleasure, sent me a PM or email if need help leanring more, but you'll have to do the hard work of learning though, hehe.

Sysane,
*bows* Hope to make more, but mostly do Spelljammer stuff.
Think I'll need ot buy GeoControl to help make some of the Athasian landscapes I think of, hm.
