These may be repeats/repostings.

I was browsing a thread over at the WoTC forums when I ran across these two images that would fit perfectly as area artwork for Infinity Engine games.

DL_BMGeneric 1_cis.jpg is an outdoors area with a bit of a fey atmosphere to it.
whirlpool-dark.jpg is a water setting with a giant whirlpool, wrecked ship and giant fish skeleton.

These were posted by Tintagel, though from the way he posted it seems he/she was not the original artist.

My apologies for forcing a view of the images, I only intended to attach the image as a downloadable file.

It's really nice. I like the first one.

As is, no, because the camera perspective isn't nearly right--they appear to be on much too steep of an angle, particularly the second map. The sprites would look very odd walking across the surface, as though they were either lying flat, or in danger of falling off the face of the earth.

Get the artist to render it at the proper angle, and you might be in some sort of business.

Ah, good point.  Still the hard part would be adding all the various IE coding needed to make them actual in-game usable areas.
