Weekly Challenge: Exotic Environments (due Oct 4th)

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.

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).

The best karma you could award would be an entry to the contest ;)

Yes, I'm being a talentless hypocrite here.
