So, as the deadling for the 1/10 contest approaches, I'm finding that I need some graphics. Well, not so much need, but would appreciate incredibly, because I need to be able to distinguish my multi-level cathedral from the run-of-the-mill church/shrine.

Specifically, I need graphics for organ pipes, and for a large stained-glass window along the lines of this:

If anyone can suggest or make anything, I'd be eternally grateful.

For the windows do you want certain icons or geometric patterns? Do you want them 1 or 2 high. 1 or 2 wide? Are there specific colors you wish to use? Do you want an arched window as a terrain against a wall, or do you want an arched windows as part of the wall? Or do you want a rectangular window?

Actually, if it's possible, arched, 3-wide and 2-high, without the wall. As for shapes/themes/colors, I don't want to be picky, but anything even vaguely related to wind or skies is good.

I would probably use blue and violets.

Sunset, Morning, Cloudy, or other sky type?

Any dominating colors?

edit:
3 wide would make it wider than it being taller. The building could feel squat. Perhaps a variety of 1 wide, 2 high windows.

I could make a 3 high window, 2 wide but you would have to use 2 terrain slots similar to the Nethergate Tower.

Actually, it can be two wide. The space I'm putting it in is three wide, but I can split it up so it's just two wide and centered. Three high is right out, just due to how crowded this cathedral is getting.

I guess sunset with clouds would be most awesome, but anything with clouds is good. Thanks!

I was wondering who would notice.

Oh here is the terrain:

Someone, post item ideas in my Ode to BoE thread. It makes it hard to meet the 1/10 deadline without!

TM wishes to express his approval of your graphic as well.

Regarding Ode to BoE, I'd honestly prefer to see Longshanks completed. :P

So would I, but it takes a long long long time. That plus I still need to do the scripting.

Bah!
The hardest part is the writer's block. I mean I have the following:
Nethergate where the party can rest and shop while waiting. (2 levels)
Squiggly mountain/cave pass. (2 levels)
Tendo Hall, home to rich lord. (4 towns large)
Northwind, our snowed in trade/fishing village (2 towns levels)
The mining camp. (1 level)
The heavenly abode. (3 levels)
Elemental towers. (6 levels)
Capital city. (4 towns)
Scout tower. (1 town)
3 hidden trainers (3 towns)
The enchanted palace (2 levels)
disguised temple (2 towns/variants)
Mindscape (1 town)

Moving the party smoothly along is slow and hard work, and I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to get the party to go into the enchanted palace in order to recover the elements from the towers.

Oh, and each elemental tower has the ability to move the party to a unique outdoor section.

Northwind is from the water tower.
The main game is from the earth tower.
The fire tower goes nowhere yet.
The air tower leads to the temples/mindscape.

Dahak: That's awesome. Photoshop's stained glass filter, I presume? Either way, thank you. I can mess with colors if I need to.

So, anybody want to take a shot at organ pipes? Basically, the setup I'm going for is something like the chapel on my campus, with organ pipes on either side of the window. Ideally, the pipes should face east and west, since the window is going at the north end of the room. Here's a less-than-wonderful picture:
