I dunno how to do a poll so, which one is your favourite interpretation of The Tower? Don't you like any of them?

Mine is the middle one personally the last one, i dunno why it just takes my fancy. The middle one doesn't seem plausable to me, i cant see where the door would be and i can see the "room at the top" on it. The first one is just to bland, although seems the most pluasable...



(note to mods, if you could tell me how to put a poll in, or put one in yourself and put the options "Image 1" "image 2" "Image 3" and "None" please :))

Absolutely no question. Top one.
The others aren't even close to how the Tower is described and how I pictured it.

You're welcome! :D

My all time favorite though is the hazy tower from The Gunslinger on The Beach picture. I do love the ones you and Letti posted too though.

Jeeze, at least she got that it was a joke.. :rolleyes:

Anyway, its just some artwork someone did...I can't even remember where I got it. But its fantastic as a wallpaper, especially since with it blown up like that the detail is just amazing and those red eyes are much more noticable.

Good choice for a background.

Especially for you. :evil:

Ah. This is another excellent rendition.
However, I think I prefer your background.
It leaves more to the imagination :)

Ah, my mistake.
You said it was great as a wallpaper, and I assumed it was yours.
Either way though, I like the first one better.

From the first post, I would have to go with the first one. But I love the rest of the towers that have been posted. I would like to know where to get some of these pictures from

The first one. I'm pretty sure that's the version of the tower I'm going to get a tattoo of.

The first one got my vote. The other two are great drawings but remind me too much of the two towers from the Lord of the Rings. Also the look too evil to be the tower I've imaged since first reading about it.

daveg344
07-12-2008, 06:38 AM
Definitely the first of the 3.
The other 2 are good...but they arn't the tower.

Also where is that first pic from? I absolutely love it. Would want a higher res version of it, or if possible like a canvas print of it. But I don't even know of the artist.

Number One, but you can see why those other artists decided to go a bit "cosmic" and otherworldly with their drawings. The Tower at the heart of the universe, that serves as a hub to all reality ...seems to suggest all manner of weird outcroppings and things slithering off into other dimensions!
