This week's challenge is "Exotic Environments".
Games tend to play it too familiar when it comes to environments. Shooters take you to war-torn, gray-brown city streets. Fantasy games take you to the same magical forests and caves.
Let's turn up the creativity and come up with art for exotic environments. Preferably a style not already found on earth (e.g. thick jungles, desert oasis, glacial caverns are not exotic enough for this challenge). Could be "naturally" occuring or constructed by a society (probably non-human, or in an architectual style unlike those of actual cultures).
Concept art would shine here. Tilesets are a natural fit. Exotic music is a plus.
All participants will receive this stylish badge:
Winners will receive the gold version. :)
The badge set for this week is built on sunburn's medal bases and uses a crystal from Ails' fantasy icon set. They are licensed CC-BY-SA 3.0. You can find the source files here:

Very nice contest.. I'll try to make some nice architecture. But I'll be away for three days.
I'm thinking something Seussian, similar to what was done in Rice Boy (a comic whose visual style, at least, I must admire).
No entries. Extended to next week!
nice idea wish there was a way to award karma to pfunked for the idea.
The best karma you could award would be an entry to the contest ;)
Yes, I'm being a talentless hypocrite here.
