Screenshots of unpublished projects?

I have some projects that I've yet to publish, I guess many foundry authors may have many of those around, so why not post some screenshots of those unpublished projects? maybe with a short description of what's the quest about.
I'll start with mine:

The castle gates: A quest where you have to visit Duskshire and travel through the Whispering Woods to face the evil vampire torturing the town.

The haunted library: I haven't thought much about this besides the name and some maps:

    The fortress of agony: A snowy stormy place where you have to get to the big fortress in top of the mountain:

    The forbidden crypt of Kajarheim: Hidden deep within the Deadhill Ravine, people speak of a forbidden crypt where a great danger lurks inside.

    As you can see I like creepy places/quests.
    I'd love to see which other unpublished quests are around here, I bet there are lots of nice places

    This is one I've been working on slowly for awhile now. Eldarth is one of my original D&D characters from long, long, looong ago (D&D original set).

    Story
    A Lich is building a keep in the mountains using enslaved Dwarves. He is harvesting corpses from some nearby cemetery ruins and is raising an army of undead to serve him. You'll need to fight your way thru a growing undead army and find some way into the keep itself. Inside you'll need to defeat any enslaved monsters and find your way to the Lich himself. Are you the hero for the task? The surrounding countryside and small villages are counting on you!

    Background
    Eldarth (the Lich) was always fascinated with life/death. He found resurrections and reincarnations performed by Clerics (pre-spellplague) fascinating and began investigating every aspect of life and death, ultimately becoming a Necromancer. In his later years of adventuring came across the Hand of Vecna (a powerful artifact). The desire for it's power made the choice of lopping off his own hand for the artifact an easy one. After acquiring the artifact he began "settling down" and retiring from adventuring. He then discovered, and performed, the ritual to become a Lich. He thus began focusing on building a fortress and raising countless undead minions. This is where this story is focused -- the early building of his fortress and undead army.

    Thanks! So far I've got at least three alternate ways to get inside the lair. I'm also trying to provide "visibility" into the below terrain advanced mechanisms so you can hopefully teleport around from the starting point to see how things work. Kind of a dual-purpose foundry quest.

    I'm still in the process of making my next quest.

    Really have been taking my time with it since I'm pretty busy with work these days.

    So far I've got 5 maps in the making with 1 map done. 5 maps are for my next quest. The last one was meant for the Cult of Dragon contest but I never finished so I'm planning to just use it for my next next quest=)

    Forest transition map (Done. I'm making the player walk out from within the waterfall):
    47C1DEF261AE3E9B9AB1F8015595009AECF419BC
    CD9AB45DEC2B33C5FB51CFF29E6265C4E8085070

    Yew Town (I don't know what to call it yet. Only made the map, haven't done any mechanics.):
    67FEA4FF1A7A1EB52FD88ACE28B2130265C39B79

    Castle Flayer's Rock (I still need to edit the map and add in mechanics). I'm facing a writer's block here:

    Looks very nice too, but I think in the 4th screenshot, the fog doesn't match the environnement. It's too light IMO
    edit: the last screenshot looks amazing! Love the mood!

    Thanks!

    Noted on the fog. Haha..I'm still not too good with using the effects in the foundry.

    To be honest, I've been messing around too much with building the maps than in actually making the quest (objectives, mechanics, writing, etc).

    By the way, the screenshots you guys took look really good!

    Thanks! and I can totally relate to spending more time building maps than the quest themselves. I love building maps!

    I'm between projects at the moment, so I don't have anything ready to show. Once I start working on the next Brightstone quest, though...

    Started work on a new map today, figured I'd show it off. I apologize for the darkness, I haven't set any lights yet.

    As for the location, well... Anyone really familiar with 3e FR mods who's been paying close attention to my campaign might be able to hazard a guess.

    This is my current WIP map for the next quest in my campaign. This is supposed to be the oasis town of Ragheb in the Raurin desert. I had another version built, before I realized Ragheb was supposed to be a town surrounding a lake. You can only see the mayoral palace and the gaoler island on the left, the rest of the town hasn't been built yet.

    e42fuhk.jpg

    And a nearer view of the Palace...

    Currently I am having trouble creating palm like trees for the oasis town. Ferns disappear within 100 feet and the spiky plant disappears at 500. If anyone has some ideas on how to make foliage that might look good from a distance in this oasis town, please let me know!

    I'll try to get up a pic or 2 from Wail of the Banshee. Most of it is not ready to be seen, but I might have a few areas that will take a good pic.

    On your way to a city, you were caught in the middle of a storm. It's going to be a continuation to the first chapter of my campaign. Progress has been slow, as I have yet to come to a satisfying concept to connect this map to the next.

    Never quite got the underwater effect to my satisfaction. And this mission was going to be rather ... complicated.

    But the fact that I barely get any plays (~100 plays on my first mission over... a year), my stuff is nigh unsearchable, and so on means it's very likely I'll never work on this stuff.

    maybe you could use the tall ivy plants for algae and also a more blue or green tint to give a better impression of underwater, if you ask me :)
