First of all, just wanted to say hi.
New to this board, but old to PS.

Sigil in pictures ......
Just wondered if anyone else had a favourite pic of Sigil ?
My fav is "The Lost Dragon" (pg 85 In the Cage).
For me it just conveys the mood of the place as I imagine it.
Almost Transylvanian !

There aren't many to be found on the web, so I made some myself. See my sig links.

Those cityscape pics really bring Sigil to life. Excellent work, that!

Wow ! I have to agree with Rr'ka. The cityscapes are awesome.
The Clerk's Ward Street being the best.

Been a good long while since I've been to these boards. Hello again, everyone.

I also like that picture that rip posted. And, in addition to that, there's an image in the Planewalker's Handbook of Her Serenity in a bright orange robe with bleeding people trying to kowtow to Her. I forget what page it's on but I remember it's near the back.

Oh, before I forget, I also really, really like the chibis that Primus drew a while back. I especially like the Fell and the me chibis.

Funny... I was just thinking the same thing this very hour, since I've just returned. Glad to see you're hear too CoA ;).

As do I, and I also like the images on the links he provided. Good stuff .

I've never seen that. Where is it located? Planewalker.com?

Are we witnessing the start of a vast roaming migration of posters across the Planescape fan boards? ;) Yeah, the chibi pix are on planewalker, in the artist's alley section. I think they were posted to this board initially, before the reorg.

My favorite picture is from Sigil and Beyond, pages 60-61, of the cloaked wererat expounding something to a group of cranium rats amidst razorvine. It's very evocative and shows the dark architecture and smoggy streets of Sigil in all their drab glory.

From that gallery on Elfwood, my favorite would be Izmobe Themmatt. A good dyptic with some interesting architecture in the background.

Sigil in pictures... pictures in Sigil... Sigil picture finger painting and kilarney!

Primus the Prime and One is good but he is not me... my art is on buildings not on interwebs... or demonwebs... Lolth, she likes vermillion. PAINT!

That's the Courthouse for the Fraternity of Order behind Themmatt/Izmobe. Took it directly from Factol's Manifesto.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. Let me see if I can find some more Sigil pictures on the web. Ah, here we go:

Old Sage, Krypter just noticed that there's a number of posters to the Wizards board also frequent the Planewalker forums as well.

Rhys, Rip, Moogle, Primus, Nordom, and Shemmy (to name a small few) all maintain a presence on Planewalker. They are all wellsprings of useful information, fountains of advice, and I find them to be respectable sages on anything and everything Planescape.
