Here are a couple of replacement work-ups for the First Circle of Hell Stronghold using artwork from some fantastic artists.

Here's #1:


And here's #2:


Please let me know your opinion of these in the comments section.

C.J., any thoughts? I can look for more if these aren't satisfactory...

I like SnowSkadi's picture more.

But I run through Jermilex deviant and I found another one

What do you think about it?

The second one definitely gives the better impression of the first circle of hell, both in color scheme and, for want of a better word, circularness.

The blues and purples of the first one don't give that impression. It's more a place of darkness than of fiery torment.

SLP - I have lots of Jermilex's images and I love them all. While that one certainly looks like Hell and gives the impression of "circularness" as CJ calls it, it doesn't really seem like a Stronghold.

CJ - Great assessment of the two images. I'll take one last look to see if there's anything else that catches my eye...

By the way, there's no reason why the artwork has to be circular. That was just a bonus in this case. The first artwork you had used was fine, so something along those lines works great.
