1. What type of area artwork are you requesting: Indoor or Outdoor?
Indoor.
2. Specifically what type of area - city, dungeon, forest, something else?
Something else--it's in a demiplane. Dungeon lighting would probably come closest.
3. Size of area artwork requested? (Remember that the game has size limitations.)
A large room. Needs to hold about 12 people plus room for a fight.
4. Where in the game will this area occur and which areas will it link?
In a separate demiplane, will link to the demiplane.
5. Should the area artwork have both night and day versions? (The artist will essentially have to create the area twice - think hard if you really need both)
Just needs the one lighting.
6. Describe your vision of the area in detail! Give some backstory to the area, the intended use, a sketch of the intended area artwork...
Basically, to all appearances, it is a large ballroom with room for 12 couples to dance (and for a fight). It ought to be beautiful, but it is also somehow, wrong--the coloring is off, or the angles. It's oddly shadowy for the number of candles there are in the room. It's a demonic ballroom.
The background music is a twisted version of a waltz (provided by theafeces). If listening will inspire you, I'll send the clip

7. Will the artist have some freedom to compose the area, or should the request parameters be followed to the letter?
The artist has all kinds of freedom.

8. Are there any special features you need? (for example a statue that opens to reveal a secret passageway etc.)
Nope.
9. Any deadlines?
Soonish. A month? Two?
10. What game and what mod is this for?
BG2, the Mage Trio.
11. Anything else you'd like to mention?
Cuv did some initial work on it, but is unable to finish. Anyone is welcome to use the area he started to use as a basis--he has given permission & will attach it below. If you'd rather use another area, that's fine, too.
