Description
I want to thank everyone, for taking time out of their schedules to view my work,
A thank you to those who leave a comment, love reading them. Also a thank you

Done in Bryce 5.5 and Photoshop Element 6.
My own textures and sky.
Ground shapes from playing in the terrain editor.

Arganthia is the planet on which the adventures are to happen or I guess you could say the stage for the story of "Ontar" which is a D&D character of mine that was created back in 86 or around when I was aboard the Eisenhower.
Planet background: a magical place, I mean literally, magic is abundant and so is technology. It is sparsely populated, a population of maybe 100,000 souls not counting the other sentient being inhabiting the planet, a lot of open territory, forest and of course oceans.
The planet exist just outside the normal time continuum so things sometimes gets real interesting when you leave the planet and re-enter another time line. The geography of the planet is in constant flux, the only real stable areas are where the centers of civilizations are and houses in the outlands. Felling trees is a capital crime, but the races do not enforce it the planet itself does, and I will not go into that gross explanation at all. But, if you really want to ruin a persons day, talk them into cutting down a tree. Anyway this gives you an idea of the planet.
The characters are as follows (if and when I can get them attired properly, got most of the items needed, just a few more shopping trips)
Ontar: originally from earth (our earth aren�t most heroes?), here he is a fighter/illusionist, lives out by himself, introduced in "Out My Backdoor", I think. Has a daughter who is a demon and a psuedo dragon as a companion. The youngest of six brothers in this time line. The story is through his eyes and thoughts.
Seaton: from somewhere no one is for sure where; a ninja/sorcerer has a pet rust monster (from D&D of course) calls it his kitty. Believe he is human for the most part.
Selena: from Teleth another planet, she is an elf fighter/healer and lives with her half brother Groanin, a human, in a stead on the a southern island.
Groanin: from Teleth, a huge man who was wounded in battle and now has the communication skills of a three to four year old and sometimes the temperament. The gentle giant type character. Then are times that he becomes his old self, and when this happens he becomes a very intelligent man, more of a genius.
And of course a cast of thousands such as the sisters Jill and Tilly Mae, spaced wrecked humans, 300 colonists. Fridge, Drac, Smidge, the red and blue dragons and the fire lizards, oh and do not forget the three sisters, "Let's Go", I think,who are indigenous to the planet all introduced in some of my earlier works.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the week.
Yesterday was busy as all get out, doctor appointments and going to get my mother-in-law from the rehab and having her over for the day, it is always fun with her here (not being sarcastic)and at times interesting she has moderate alzheimer or so the docs say, but her long term memory is still excellent so we have fun discussing the past (sometimes being a historian comes in handy).
Hope everyone stays safe.
