A Picture Competition!

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

Hello, my fellow Sounisians!

As many of you may have recently seen, peggy_2 posted a link to a booktalk about The King of Attolia that is really quite astounding in its combination of artistic imagery and oral execution.  So astounding, in fact, that it inspired checkers65477 and I to come up with a few friendly competition ideas.  First, we have...



THE PICTURE COMPETITION
Romeo and Juliet for Gen and Attolia?  King Arthur and some other knight for Gen and Costis, post-assassins?  Come now, surely we can do better than that!  Citizens of Sounis, we want you to scour the internet for images better suited to The King of Attolia.  If you want to create your own pictures (*pokes the resident artists*), that too is perfectly acceptable.

Because we have some residents who are on slower-than-lightning internet connections, it would probably be best if you simply linked to the image in your comment, rather than posting the whole thing there, but it's not required.  Just keep in mind that some of us are still in the dinosaur era.

Anyway, pictures!  Tell us what they really are...or make us guess.  Tell us what scenes they remind you of, and why!

I always liked this mosaic as the final showdown between Eugenides and Nahuseresh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Mosaic

Very good challenge though! I'll keep on the lookout for more images. :)

Can't you picture the palace in Attolia on the hill?

Although it's really the Hotel Dieu in Paris, MWT said she likes to think of Gen and Attolia arguing in the garden. (http://pics.livejournal.com/checkers65477/pic/0000p8xb/)

That garden is almost EXACTLY how I imagined it! woohoo

[philia-fan.livejournal.com]

I think I just saw that garden in person!

[vaireweaver.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's an Attolian garden. *Love* it!

Part of the Attolian palace (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/Galadriel777/73491_3469.jpg) (perhaps near that lovely garden)

Somewhere in Eddis (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/Galadriel777/Zagoria-KokorosBridgeCrossroads.jpg)

So it's not KoA, but this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/Galadriel777/VokosTenderness.jpg) makes me think of a peasant in Eddis. *points at goat*

And this shot (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/Galadriel777/Attolia.gif) is in my avatar—take a guess as to who I think she looks like, heh.

What is that last shot from? ^^

*curious*

[vaireweaver.livejournal.com]

Gladiator. :D

That is ATTOLIA. 8-O. I so need an icon of that pic.

Any icon makers up to it?

The 'somewhere in Eddis' one sort of looks like it might be the bridge Gen and co. crossed to get into Eddis (Thief), or the place in the Aracthus (QoA). Of course, it doesn't match either description, but by those points I was reading too fast to pay attention to what stuff looked like. *mentally reminds herself to go check, but without much hope because she doesn't have any little gray cells*

I know this isn't exactly what is being looked for, but looking at these pictures made me think, hey, did I show everyone my random painting of my sister in a red sweatshirt that makes me think of Attolia? I don't think I have. Or did I? Hmmm.
