Stalin's Organ
|
|
By. Patrick Hanna
|
.. Concept artwork of the Makou Cannon in Torregiano drawn
by Patrick Hanna, Waterdeep's first and so far only 'official'
artist who did this work back in the late 1990s. From this
picture and most found in this archive, you'll see he had
ungodly skills.

The First Firing
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. Entreri Bloodstoner, son of Nisstyre was
kidnapped by the Vectorian Empire. During this time Torregiano
and the Cannon was still under construction, and during the
rescue mission lead by Hathorne Judge, the Makou Cannon was
fired for the first time despite being unfinished. The support
structure collapsed and sent the cannon crashing to the city
below. This is the only detailed concept art of Torregiano we
have.

Orc versus Troll
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. One of several pictures drawn for a 'Racial' series of
artwork, this picture shows what I believe is an orc and troll
fighting in the Old Marsh, but I could be wrong about the
races.
|

|
Podrikev
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. Also part of the Racial Artwork was going to be individual
pictures of each race, even though only a few had been drawn.
This is the concept picture for the Podrikev race on the mud.

|
Thri'Kreen
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. WaterdeepMUD's own concept of those of the Thri-Kreen
race. Who the hell would want to play cards with that thing.

Pixies Torture Dwarf
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. Mainly a picture for the Dwarven race, but somewhere we
had to torture the short people with the small people, as
this dwarf is being screwed with by pixies.
|
|
|
.. I'm not sure if this is suppose to be a goblin or one
of the other races. But a nice picture of one race which is
insane, as the tin pan hat shows here in this picture.

Torregiano & The
Istar Sea
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. This was the last artwork being done by Patrick Hanna,
and the actual artwork was never scanned. In short what was
asked for was a picture of Torregiano (Tripower Capital) and
Saint Plattsburgh (Vectorian Capital) which is across the
Istar Sea. Hard to show but he made it, and took some camera
pictures as preview.

The City of Torregiano
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. A close up of Torregiano with its 'Midgar' style design
and the Makou Cannon. Missing from the picture would be Accomaxx
Island connected north, but who could complain at artwork
like this.

The Istar Sea Coastline
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. Snap shot of the coastline above Torregiano, Saint Plattsburgh
would be in the upper right hand corner, but little can be
seen in this picture.

Trabane Townsend
|
| By. John
Menla (Second Pic by. Ahriman of ToD) |
.. Concept Art drawn in 2008 by hired artist John Menla,
an American in Aussieland. This picture is one of almost a
dozen slowly being drawn out over time of characters from
The Book of No Name, the mud's main campaign story. This shows
Trabane with his trademark Castor Firearm (designed under
steampunk influences) and Buster Sword.
.. Second picture is an earlier concept of Trabane done by
Time of Darkness former immortal Ahriman, showing Trabane
on his Airship the Surf of Syn.
|
|
|
.. The Vectorian Orphan rescued by Trabane & Ackmon who
has alchemist skills and can wield a Buster Sword too big
for himself. The sword was originally owned by Trabane's first
business partner, handed down to Trabane who has basically
given it to Card for several reasons.
|
|
|
.. Concept of Ackmon, the brains of Townsend and Hawkins
Delivery & Other Services, shown here with his Hookshot
weapon (concept taken from SNES Zelda), and Church of Strife
T-Shirt. Also an orphan rescued by Trabane.

Nisstyre I. Bloodstoner
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. Concept Picture of Nisstyre, God of Nightmares and President
King of the Tripower, shown here standing in knee high skulls,
holding his famous pike and scythe, wearing a concept realmism
trench coat.

|
Hathorne P. Judge
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. General of the Tripower Kingdom's Army, The Legion. Captain
of the Order of Judgement, the Tripower's police force. Immortal
and trained in all artforms of battle, Hathorne Judge is a
legendary character known by all in the realms. This concept
shows Hathorne in full Legion Armor.

Market Square
|
| By. Patrick Hanna |
.. There is no large picture of this, or else you could see
the details that was put into this picture. This is one of two
pictures which are from what I call 'package one' of Hanna's
artwork, because I had to scan the pictures and send them back
to him, I've lost all major scans of these in a HD failure around
2000. This one tiny image is all that has survived (and the
picture of Nisstyre above).

3d Torregiano from
a distance
|
| By. Nisstyre Bloodstoner |
.. This is a concept 3d model of the city of Torregiano,
which anyone familiar with WaterdeepMUD knows that its highly
based on Midgar from Final Fantasy 7 with differences. This
picture shows you what Torregiano would look like while approaching
it. There would only be a few trees around but mostly grasslands.
From this point you can see three of the Makou Reactors, but
namely you can see Stalin's Organ, the Makou Cannon sitting
on top of its support structure 15 stories above the city.
The Tripower Tower can also be seen in the center.

3d Torregiano Nighttime
|
| By. Nisstyre Bloodstoner |
.. A picture of Torregiano from a large hill, in this picture
you can see some of the generic 3d buildings, along with the
Cannon Support Structure and Tripower Tower. This picture
uses a night sky background and shows both the Moon of Toril
and Ragnarok.

|
Inside 3d Torregiano
|
| By. Nisstyre Bloodstoner |
.. A generic shot from inside Torregiano, showing what looking
up into the sky would feel like with the Cannon Support Structure
overhead. In this picture of course you can see the cannon,
along with an empty city and two Makou Reactors along the
wall. This is looking south towards the mountains.
