unit 121- inspirational picture for my ideas- Oblivion

Oblivion


My oblivion universe is really just volcanic plains as far as the eye can see with Spire like towers in cliff faces and in the desert plains.
This world is basically the land of the dead and evil, a place where even the devil is a simple servant.
The grounds surface has a rocky texture and plenty of sand and ash deserts.Both are jet black.
Many different coloured crystals can be found hidden in the rocks near the lava pools.
Plant life is very limited, as this realm feed of the blood of living things. Most plants are very basic either roots, poisonous flours or tall sharp blades of grass. However this grass isn't like the grass we know, it is red and full of blood vanes. If this grass ended up in the dimension of the living, even a single blade of grass would soon multiply and chock any native plant life, turning the land into an extension of Oblivion.
For this to happen must be opened. They lay dormant within any worlds crust, and will burst out of the ground before opening. The energy that escapes them is a bit like tendrils and grab hold of anything that either doesn't belong to the realm. They seek heat and blood, though they are simply energy. Once the gates are opened, any living creature in the area is drained of it blood which in turn powers Oblivion and feeds it's inhabitants.
The dimension has a sulphuric and musky smell to it's environment and the air, is poisoned by the constant volcanic energy. Creatures that do not belong to this realm, begin to suffer with dizziness, possible vomiting, lack of breath, and slow blood poisoning. The ai they would breath would also be full of CO2 and would be superheated, so they would really struggle for breath but they would also have their lungs plastered in carbon and their respatory system would basicaly cook for the inside.
The weather would be mostly violent storms and hurricanes due to the volcanic activity. Any rain would be very acide. However, the black clouds occaionally breack up a little, letting you see a red-pinkish sky.

These are inspired by the actual plains of Oblivion from the the game The elders scrolls IV, Oblivion by Bethesda Softworks.
This game has came out many years ago on Pc and has come out on Xbox 360and PS3 in the recent years.

I really love this image as it has all the characteristics My oblivion has, ecxept the building maybe.
I love the colours as they are mostly my faourite colours appart from obviously the pink. I also like how the border between the land and the sky seems to glow due to the raging fires of the molten rock.

I took this image because the texture of cooled lava is like the rocky lands of Oblivion. It would be similar also with cracks where streams of molten rock would run freely, seaping out of the ground down to their basing. Best way i could find something like this to photographe would be layers of melted tar but it doesn't get hot enough in this countr for that, o i'll have to find a way to recreate it.




I found this image on my computer. I think it's been there a while because i can't remember where i got it from.
But anyway, the lava flow in this image is just like the rivers in Oblivion. The lackes and oceans would be similar, but they wouldn't have waves as the liquide in them is to sticky fo that, instead it would just bubble away, like cookig rice pudding.
