So, I happened to come across this (http://www.designzzz.com/stunning-fantasy-landscape-illustrations/), and I thought, "wow, I should start a thread for this type of thing." Somebody has probably already done this, but to be honest I'm too lazy to look.

Let's see some pictures of awesome fantasy settings. In addition to that link, I'll post the necessary M.C. Escher prints:

# 2 and #3 look a lot like the Oocca.

I've seen a lot of cool citadels in my time, but I always keep coming back to this one:

This one comes in a close second:

A bit of advice I heard somewhere for making memorable fantasy locations: "Take a landmark from the real world, scale it up by a factor of ten, and fill it with ninjas."

Sure, this is Dalaran. But Dalaran is pretty, damnit.

I think I just have a thing for wizard's towers. I wonder what Freud would say.

Something a bit more steampunk...
