               just came up with a new idea, but im not sure how much popularity it will gain:

i just recently re-watched the movie: "The Legend of the Dark Crystal", and thought how neat it would be to have some of the creatures implemented into NwN.

The Skesis:

and there Giant Warriors, the Garthim:

Maybe even some Gelfling Heads for Halfling models?

I believe this to be a great (classic) movie, but whenever i see it, i look at it as inspiration and thought to share this as another possible CC Challenge idea? 'Posted

               This one will actually sway my votes away from the Dwarves! This would be a a fantastic challenge for my self as a 2d artist to pull off some "Froudian"-like icons. Remember when I mentioned Augra's Great Conjunction model for "Magi scrying devices, and wondrous miscellaneous items of power" category?

Hehe. I can dream.

Summaries are shorter, more compact overviews of a larger idea or piece.  Basically, just a way for others to get a brief look at what you want them to know, and they can do further reading/research/etc. if they want to know more..

               well! i hope everyone enjoys the summary then :3, ill post it again since were starting on a new page:

===========================================================================================
===========================================================================================


The Skesis:
4.bp.blogspot.com/--8I4o_EHogY/TchHsyA5vxI/AAAAAAAABH8/DUvN8zC7vd0/s1600/Skesis+1.jpg
http://3.bp.blogspot...00/Skesis 2.jpg

The corrupt rulers of the planet Thra, having inherited it from their benevolent predecessors. The Skeksis culture favors repetitive flamboyance, emotional pettiness, and a wasteful attitude toward life. Though they are capable of forming alliances, they are by nature extremely paranoid toward each other, making them uneasy to befriend.

The Garthim:
sixeleven.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/garthim.jpg

The imposing, tall, bulky, crustacean-like creatures known as the Garthimm are protected by a tough exoskeleton or carapace, who shamble on tentacles and brandish sharp crab-like claws. The Garthim also appear to be at least partly mechanical in structure, although this is unclear. They make a series of clicking noises which could be either organic or synthetic. Their eyes glow purple which could relate to there association with the Dark Crystal.

The Gelflings:
images.wikia.com/muppet/images/4/45/Gelfling.JPG
http://images.wikia....7/Gelflings.jpg

Slender humanoids with pointed ears and protracted facial structures who originally populated much of the world of Thra. Gelflings have similarities to both elves and halflings. Female Gelflings have butterfly-like wings that can be folded to fit easily under clothing. These wings can be used to slow a long fall to allow for a safe landing, even with the added weight of a second Gelfling holding onto the first.

The Gelflings once had a flourishing civilization, as seen in the ruins of one of their cities in the film, and had a system of writing similar to hieroglyphics. The Garthim likely played a major role in there species decline.

I wholeheartedly endorse anything to do with getting some Dark Crystal into any game. One of you talented people around here need to get off your butt and start work on this, like, posthaste now. The dorfs and poor people can wait.

Seriously. Now. :shakes fist:

               @oOKyeOo - Added the theme for the pile for August's poll. =)

Edit adds:  I'll be out of town at the end of the month.  So any new poll themes that come in after today will appear on Sept's poll instead of August.  That way I can send Karvon (who will be handling the poll) the information before I head out of town.

More edit adds:  Forget the previous edit, I apparently forgot how to use a calendar there for a bit. '<img'>  NEXT month the poll options will freeze early, not this month.

               awesome ^^ thanks TheSpiritedLass! im not sure what kind of votes it will recieve but at least there are some willing to endorse the idea :3

i might considre the Dark Crystal theme to include anything related to the world (Thra), so i might go back and edit my summary to include more such as: more creatures, landscape, Augra, and the Skesis castle as a few ideas...

               Just a heads up:  Any new theme suggestions y'all want added for the Sept poll need to be posted/turned in by July 25th (which is a Monday).

               Yes please!

If I had a toolset I would make a module based on that masterpiece. I have done some prelim work on that a way back.

For Skeksis I planned to use the hook horror model or the type I demon.
For  Garthim, Umber Hulks.
Mystics are a bit of a problem with no new model I could only think of bears.
Podlings can be based on gnomes and gelflings on halflings.
If we want to use exotic creatures like Landstriders and Nebries they will have to be modelled.
I have already created Jen, Kira and Aughra as PC/NPC.
