Hi all,
I’ve been unsuccessfully searching for some images which show Athas in the way it is described on the very first page of the original Campaign book:
From the first moments of dawn until the last twinkling of dusk, the crimson sun shimmers in the olive-tinged sky like a fiery puddle of blood.
Can anyone help me? Most images I find are red/yellow/brown skies with a yellow/orange sun. Some of them have the true crimson sun, but nothing I find seems to honor the “olive-tinged sky”.
I’ve done a lot of photoshopping of images for my tour of Athas called #darksundestinations, which you can find on the Dark Sun facebook group. They approach the kind of colouring you’d expect to see:
Thanks guys. That last one is the only one that really goes in that direction. Those photoshopped photos are beautiful, a couple of them lean in the direction. The very first image is what I meant, all browns and yellows. No green and red.
It’s interesting, it’s as if the idea of a green-tinged sky is mostly ignored by the artists. Maybe it was just retconned?
