Greek fire factory!

Think about it- We still don't know how it was made. This leaves tons of room to play- have scientists rediscovered the recipe to use in times of war? Or are you depicting the factory of ancient times? I've also heard that small factories were set up on ships for making it. Greek fire was used by many cultures, and you can let your architecture speak as to which you're representing. This has the added bonus of most likely being an interior scene.

Gummy bear paradise, Or Unicorn Palace would both be wonderful as well! Gummy bear paradise would be fun, it would give a chance to play around with semi-translucent items. Unicorn palace would be fun to design a palace for creatures with different dimensions than humans.

Crystal would also be fun to play with, Crystal Waterfalls could be awesome as well...

- The creepy house at the end of the street
- Swinger's lounge (strip bar, nudie bar, etc) -- outside or inside
- Atrium of an epic shopping mall
- Air dockyard for blimps / zephyrs

Hi, this is the first time for my suggestion here, may we have an EoW about my home town, Ho Chi Minh city, in the future? May be in the 25th century.
My city is in a great development, mixing between modern, many new technology, and the traditional values: architecture, culture. If there's any occasion, you may come here, take a look at my country, I think you will find many inspiration for your design, I did too. If you don't, Google is would be good too.
Obviously, as a Vietnamese concept artist, I'd love to see what my home town city will become in the next 500 years, that will be very interesting, through the eyes, the hands, of many talent artists here and there.
Thanks a lot, guys

How about a Climbing City?! Where, instead of walking around, driving, or flying little ships, the inhabitants (whether human, alien, or creaturish) got around places by climbing to them. This would open up interesting, new, dimensions to the spatial conception of a city. The idea would be that because of geography, security (look up Meteora, Greece! - or various monasteries in the mountains), or the lack of space (pop density), the city began expanding vertically (or even upside-down), and people began climbing from day to day to get to their jobs, school, parks... etc. Think about it! Would the inhabitants need safety equipment or would they just all become bada$$es? Or maybe it is an alien world and the creatures prefer climbing over anything else!!!

Cheers,
Brett

The Venetian Queen's Floating Palace. Inspiration is things like the palace style floating restaurants such as Jumbo in Hong Kong, Roman Nemi Ships and Thai Royal barges.

I kinda wanted this for IDW but thought it was a bit too EOW.

Just have some idea pops into mind: - how about a beach enviros? I have some keyworks include: submarine base, military base, navy training center, oceanography building, beach view, rainy, cloudy, sunny day, storm, mossy rocks...what do you thing Vulgar ?

[Mila]

I'll put my two cents into the suggestion box :


- Hidden submarine base under iceberg
- Svalbard Global Seed Vault rediscoverd
- When seas become deserts
- Leaving the Milkyway for the first time

[Cyberman]

the center of the earth "like Jules Verne's book"

sci phi take on a gladiator arena

giant out of control spaceship lands in berlin paint "post spaceship crash Berlin"

Alice in wonderland Tea Party in a steampunk style and no characters allowed since
it's an environment and people will get carried away.

Mila great ideas!!

what about
Cold War Lovecraft,
as in A Colder War by Charlie Stross
http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/colderwar.htm

Im paraphrasing but... blurry high altitude U2 photos of something in a giant concrete sacophagus at the end of a canal in the urals, something that the nazis scraped out of what looked like a giant ruined templed on the floor of the Baltic... mayan step pyaramids made of east german concrete, surrounded by slave labour camps... another pyramid constructed by Saddam deep in the desert... another ruined temple on the floor of Lake Vostok in Antarctica, with alien sunlight and impossibly ancient animals swimming through its eye-bending doorways... shoggoths on trucks paraded through Red Square... and the thing in the lead and gold lined sarcophagus, undead and sleeping till the war turns hot.....

[Rob Powell]

since I need to get into the enviro groove, I'll start by suggesting some interesting things that have come to mind, any suggestions that have already been used are purley un-intentional...
-Colony of Space Vessels (people (or aliens) live on a large fleet of ships instead of on a planet or celestial body)
-Post-Apocalyptic Prison in the Rain (pretty self explanatory)
-Lava fields (perhaps a battlefield, or a path to take you to some hard to reach destination, or just a large field with lots of molten magma everywhere)
-The Bottomless Pit (or the room that houses the mythical bottomless pit, perhaps it is for sacrificial purposes, or a test of nerves, or just a large garbage chute)
-The Fall of Isengard or The Treasure of Lonely Mountain (or some kind of tolkein inspired enviro)

[OchreHand]

Some ideas that I had today..

+ Alien Cathedral: What if you visit an alien civilization and your first stop is their place of worship, what would their church look like? Their alien religion would inspire the architecture, mood, etc..

+ Spooky Graveyard for Villains: a place where they bury very, very bad people.

+ Nightmarish Toy Factory: Halloween is coming up

[Mila]

I agree with OchreHand's comment about Halloween, so why not a halloween themed round this time !

- Sleepy Hollow, 2 minutes before midnight.
- A gateway between two worlds. ( Reference to the movie. you got me )

Or something else;


- The last church of earth

[JesseM]

Inside the light
Yggdrasil (the World Tree)
The sunken city
Bridge across oceans
Cliff trees
Sideways village

[Vulgar`]

Jessie, what do you mean by 'Inside the Light'?

[JesseM]

Hmm, I didn't really have any one thing in mind. I think the ambiguity of it is what makes it a fun prompt. Maybe some version of heaven or an all-white city, or a shiny portal (though I guess that'd be "portal to the light?"), or a view of a majestic sky with a fiercely glowing sun.. or a building/tree just standing in sunlight, for that matter, contrasted by the ominous shadows all around them.
sorry if a prompt like this has already been done. I didn't check the archives. >>"

When i was a kid i read a story about a princess lost in a forest. She found a little lake, with flowers and light. She was so scared she didn't dare going back into the forest, so she sat down by the water. She sat unmoving so long she became a flower herself.

[Zombie_chinchilla]

I have a couple:

- The hidden upside down city.
- The carnivorous island. This one's from the book, "Life of Pi." The island was made of a huge mass of vines that produced freshwater, and killed the fish that landed it. During the night, too, the vines produced acid and you couldn't sleep on it. The main character Pi later found a huge tree that produced fruit, and in the fruit he found body parts, like teeth and hair. You don't have to do this specific carnivorous island, per say, but a carnivorous island is still a cool concept.

[GuesssWho]

'Suicide City'--the most depressing place in the known universe. Can be a windswept wasteland or Douglas Adams's darkly comic Han Dold City or a mountain carved into a weeping woman, or perhaps George R. R. Martin's Kryne Lamiya . . .

[templar007]

You've al heard about Space Marines undoubtly, and heared so much about their chapter fortresses, but we haven't seen any actual footage of pictures of it. So, how do you think a fortress monastery of the space marines looks like?

[Corrick]

Some of these are probably repeats but they stuck...

Colony Ship Launch Site
Warp Gate
Debris Field
The 26th Century
The Lost Fleet

[Incinerated]

some ideas

Cloud city
Ambush spot
Riot at the town square

Interior- Bomber year 2332
Interior- The observatory
Interior- Abroad the airship

[Corrick]

The Most Dangerous Game (island, Zaroff's castle, etc.)

[denidimochka]

-Super-max prison on a frozen siberian planet.

-An abandoned planet(kind of an arkham city kinda deal) where the convicted and mentally ill are sent to fend for themselves in a madman's utopia.

-The world as it would be if Genghis Khan's empire still existed today.

-The world if Rome never fell.

-A Viking Planet.

-The world as it would be now if Russia had fallen to Hitler in WWII.
