As discussed in the Discord Meeting on 9/24/16, we are thinking of posting some “writing prompts” on Reddit or other places. But, instead of writing prompts, we would post “concept prompts,” which would be maybe a paragraph long and describe something, then ask people to make concept art based on it. Post your ideas, comments, or possible blurbs here.
Maybe this will help generate some concepts for us.
Examples:
“The dry and dusty Dres wear many layers of protectice clothing to keep them safe from the winds and noxious fumes that plague the Deshaan Plains. In the south, the fogs are heavier; the Chap-Thil wear many layers draped about them, looking almost as alien as the bugs they herd. When they enter their small, well-sealed tents, they always shed their clothes. To wear clothes saturated with toxic salts inside is to insult one’s host deeply.”
“The Satchim-Ithil travels in a tent village that stops at each clanstead on a tour of the plains. The tour completes once yearly. Today, the tent village is set up outside Clan Whatever, and the Satchim-Ithil and his coincil are hearing the envoys of the local clan. Outside, the wind howls through the allweyways between the tents and jangles the decorations on the tenpoles. Flags whip in the wind, and in the distance, a noxious fog is brewing.”

Love the idea. Great way to kickstart recruiting and gaining some community interest, too.

Very cool idea, we could definitely use more concept art.
Also I would love to give one of those examples a try, if I may.
Okay, I made a concept for the Chap’ thil. The Insect in the background is after an Idea from Gnomey.

Nice! And yes, these blurbs are to inspire anyone. (Post that in the Dres thread!)

A concept blurb! From ESO user megageeklizzy. Ashlandery-Dresy garb.
(Uh...you want us to be sending them here or to the applicable brainstorming thread?)

Send them to the relevant brainstorming thread. Also, if anyone else comes up with a neat blurb, post said blurb here.
