Other Artists (Non-Aether):

Angel of War: 28k ©William Li

A full image of this picture can be seen in the "Warriors and Armour" section of the Fenyx Imaging gallery. William Li is the artist, and he's an exceptionally talented one -- just view the page to find out. He also has an Elfwood Gallery if you'd like to see more examples of his work. He has graciously allowed this picture to be posted here, which could easily pass for a tough female Praetorian warrior.

Astraea: 25k ©Michael Apice

The title for this piece was just too ironic to pass up. Besides, she makes an excellent Empyrean. Michael Apice has an Epilogue Art Gallery as well as his own site titled The Art of Michael Apice. Take a gander at some of his work -- you'll be amazed. He has graciously allowed this picture to be posted here.

Athena: 29k

This painting of Athena by Gustav Klimt might work as a representation of Tritonia, the Empyreal goddess of wisdom and warfare.

Atlantean: 44k ©Will Kramer

This image was discovered on Renderosity.Com, an online graphic artists community, where more similar pieces are showcased in the gallery for Voodoo. But if you want to see the motherlode, check out Earthcurves, the main website for Voodoo, a.k.a Will Kramer.

Atlantis (view one): 44k

Taken from an issue of Architectural Digest, this is an image of Ferdinand Cheval's "Ideal Palace," a surrealistic monument he built in Hauterives in the Rhône Valley. It could be a possible representation for Atlantis, or some other Atlantean palace.

Atlantis (view two): 39k

Here is another image of Cheval's "Ideal Palace," and another possible representation of an Atlantean structure.

Atlantis (view three): 30k

And this is the final scanned image of the "Ideal Palace," and yet another example of possible Atlantean architecture.

Baths: 52k

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema was a Dutch painter of the Victorian period who particularly enjoyed depicting scenes from classical mythology. This painting of a Roman bath ought to give one a good idea of what the Empyrean baths in the Palladium might look like. More of his paintings can be seen in his gallery.

Cella: 19k

This painting, by John William Waterhouse, of two women at prayer is an excellent example of what an Empyreal cella might look like.

Coliseum: 96k

Here's another painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema of a Roman coliseum. Perhaps the one in Haven looks a bit like this one. Hopefully it gets as crowded.

Dark Angel: 39k ©Daniel Wilke

Daniel Wilke is the artist of this piece which, with black wings, could plausibly pass for Khalid Atar. He has lots more images up on his Phoenix.Artwork site, as well as his Elfwood Gallery. He has graciously allowed this picture to be posted here.

Gladiators: 43k

This was the painting that immortalized the famous "thumbs down" gesture which ancient Romans supposedly used to signify their disapproval. It's by Jean-Léon Gérôme, and more can be seen if you visit his gallery.

Israfel: 36k ©Stephanie Pui-Mun Law

Stephanie Pui-Mun Law created this image of Israfel, the angel of music. He's not quite Empyrean-looking, but close enough to display, and besides, she has some other gorgeous images on her website, called Shadowscapes. Posting this picture was just an excuse to add a link to her site. Go take a gander!

Maxx2's Angel: 43k ©Peter Koeppen

Peter Koeppen (a.k.a Maxx2), who has images posted on Renderosity.Com, an online graphic artist's community, was kind enough to allow this angel image to be posted here. Take a look at his gallery on Renderosity to see more pictures like this one.

Pasiphae: 35k

This mother-of-pearl mermaid can be found in the Duquette Pavilion -- a sculptural exhibition dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. It could also be a possible representation of Pasiphae, found in one of the Atlantean temples.

Peristyle: 22k

Here's a painting, also by John William Waterhouse, of a peristyle -- a Roman courtyard or garden -- which would work for the Empyreans, as well. The young girl pausing to feed the birds could easily be a mongrel servant or slave -- possibly Celia?

Shaman: 37k ©Amy Brown

The ears are a little long, but this image could easily pass for a Sylvan, perhaps even a shaman with those odd body-markings. Amy Brown's Fantasy Art is chock-full of other images just like it, so go take a look!

Sports Illustrated Angel: 27k

What? Empyreans in Sports Illustrated? Well, seeing is believing. This picture appeared in the Winter 2001 issue, along with various other images of models with marble-ized skin, made to look like Greek statues. This was the only one with wings, though, and it looks unnervingly like any one of our tough Praetorian "amazons."

Woman Sleeping: 22k

This painting, titled "Roman Woman Sleeping," by John William Godward, would be perfect for the Empyreans, if she only had some wings....
