After some discussion, I have decided to post this WSG, if not for productivity, then at least for a bit of fun. We are currently waiting for some things to unfold, but until then I remain your hapless Concept art moderator. Do note, however, that this is indeed an official WSG, and all of the same rules apply.
Also, I will be adding a small new feature to this WSG, which may or may not make things more enjoyable for our artists, but that is the point, it's a trial run. The feature will work something like this:
1.) You will submit your art as is customary, within a week's time. (Depending on the outcome, and my personal status, this could run longer than a week, but that is to be decided later.)
2.) Each piece of art will be added to this first post, as it is submitted.
3.) At the end of the WSG, the results will be gathered and discussed in the Admin forum and judged by the core. A poll will be taken, and a first and second places will be chosen. This week, the submissions will be judged according to the best overall art, yet other weeks they may be judged by best functional design, most useful idea, most lore-abiding submission, and soforth, so as to prevent someone from winning week after week on pure artistic talent. We want to promote well thought-out ideas, too.
When the first place and runner-up are chosen, their names will be posted on the main page alongside the WSG results news post. For those who are budding artists here at TR, what better way to make yourself known then to have your name appear in bold on the front page? Similarly, if you are a veteran artist, why not prove you're still on top by submitting a winning piece?
Before we begin, I want healthy competition here. I do not want to see the criticism of another artist's piece, unless it is strongly constructive. Also, if you are in contact with another artist, please don't pour coffee all over their submission, or any other vile means of sabotage.

Topic Description
The subject this week is "The Atmospheric Art of Hammerfell". Unlike a similar WSG topic that was created for the Isle of Stirk, this one for Hammerfell is wide open to unique submissions. Note also that any submissions that are deemed worthy will be collected and used as promotional art for the site and/or for the TR: Hammerfell project. This is another situation in which you may gain glory for your art at TR, as quality Hammerfell art will head our art gallery. This week we are looking for desolate landscapes, crowded markets, looming moutains, ancient ruins, sprawling cityscapes, the faraway ocean, Goldmoor in full blossom, or anything else that directly relates to atmospheric art for Hammerfell. Your piece should be moving, or in some way inspirational. Something that you yourself would love to see when entering the finished Hammerfell project.
(For those who do not know what atmospheric art is, any concept art that portrays a scene or an event unfolding is known as atmospheric concept. This is the opposite of functional art.)

Thanks ahead of time for your time, and have fun with this one. May the best artist win.
(Note, if you are in need of colouration for your art piece, don't hesitate to ask myself, Pound, Morden, or Macar, or any of our other colouration experts. I can't promise we'll have the time, but it's certainly worth a try.)
