Since the other thread got closed ( and rightfully so), I was wondering if anyone wanted to post designs they didn't submit, but wanted to.

For instance (for those mythical artisans out there) I created the kephera queen throne for Sadhyra. It was either that, the chandelier Nariah submitted (viewable at the Magnagora nexus), or a macabre bloodstained lute I made. I ended up submitting some other throne, so do the mods mind if we post the designs we almost submitted, but didn't?

Edit: Well, the thread isn't closed yet, so I guess it's fine.

Note that these are NOT what I submitted, but they are designed by myself/another person in my cartel or org, and almost worth submitting.

IMPORTANT: The main noun of this item MUST use this name: THRONE
Appearance:
a kepheran queen's throne
Dropped:
A decadent jade throne sits here, an extravagant seat for a kepheran queen.
Examined:
Deep viridian jade melds with the smooth sheen of scales to create this
stunning throne, truly fit for a queen. A careful hand has delicately
shaped an immense block of the green stone into an imposing seat,
fashioned to emulate the swirling arcs of flame while also capturing the
essence of kepheran regality. Paying homage to the angular lines of the
insectoid form, the chair itself is flat and wide, unfolding in a simple
platform, stark in its sparseness. The back of the throne twists upwards
in leaps and spirals, chiseled in frozen tongues of fire; crafted to
curl outwards in blooming furls, the jade flames unfold in a sweep to
frame the seat, before twining downwards to the dais holding the entire
creation. Wide and stepped, the platform appears, at first glance, to be
merely a collection of gems, glittering with a sharp sparkle in ambient
light. Upon closer examination, however, the base resolves into an
intricate series of carvings shaped in the forms of lesser races. Backs
bowed in submission, the tiny figures are depicted bent and supplicant
as they hold the throne aloft, while smooth layers of illithoid scales
shroud the bodies, each luminous shard painstakingly affixed to create a
dazzling flash against the darker, smoky hues of the jade.

Outdoors: No Container: No Can Have Lock: No
IMPORTANT: The main noun of this item MUST use this name: CHANDELIER
Appearance:
a magnificent weeping amaranth chandelier
Dropped:
Rubescent lambency emits from amidst crimson petals of the weeping amaranth
suspended from a magnificent gemwork chandelier.
Examined:
This sizable chandelier has been crafted to resemble the magnificent
Weeping Amaranth of the Demon Lady Nifilhema. In lieu of petals, a great
number of rubies has been hung down on silver chains that interconnect
into a partially hidden web of polished metal that lends them their
shape. To further the depth of the image, large clusters of diamonds
decorate the cores of the gems. Diaphanous silver chains drop down from
the amaranth carrying miniscule teardrop-shaped bloodstones akin to
droplets of blood. In the very centre of the chandelier is a small
clearing which holds a faintly glowing orb surrounded by four small
golden runic symbols of high magic origin. Hidden above the whole
construction is a place for small candles, each within a globe of red
glass that tints the emitted light.

Item: Lute Type: Instruments Org: Wyrmwood
Commodities: cherub 3 wood 65 silver 10 platinum 10 bloodstone 13
Container: No Can Have Lock: No
IMPORTANT: The main noun of this item MUST use this name: LUTE
Appearance:
a macabre bloodstained lute
Dropped:
A macabre bloodstained lute lies here, smelling of slaughter.
Examined:
Crafted from the finest redwood, and inlaid in platinum, this lute is
fashioned into a pear-like shape. The precious metals seem to have been
dipped in blood, permanently staining it, and giving it a sombre maroon
sheen. Upon the sides are various depictions of Lady Nifilhema in all of
her glory, rending cherubs limb from limb. Silver scrolling runs up the
neck, which is capped with bloodstone pegs, in order to tune this
macabre instrument. Strung with four strings of what appear to be a
cherub's hair, this piece of workmanship is not for the faint of heart.

I'm not fond of this thread, because it's not past the submission date. If something here gets submitted, I'm certain we'll have some fairly pissed administrators. Just wait until the Beauty Seal trial is done and over with, please.

As a post script - I'll unlock the thread once the Beauty Seal challenge is over with. Thanks!
