A den of taxidermy animals. It invokes an instant image in your brain. Describe this setting with as much detail as you can muster. This could be a hunter’s lodge deep in a fantasy world’s forest, or the very strange garage of someone’s modern day house. Could you imagine the kind of creatures one might find in a space station’s taxidermy shop? If you’re not familiar with the basics of taxidermy, the wikipedia has just what you need.
A frozen lake castle… There it is, a castle sitting above the lake. What sort of setting does this invoke?
I may have watched Frozen one too many times, but I’ve often seen beautiful artwork of castles over-looking the waters of a lake or ocean. For this setting challenge, image the castle is standing over the bank of a frozen lake. What sort of home or fortress might this be? Is it in a modern setting or in a fantasy world? What about on another planet and discovered by space explorers? Who lives in this castle and what sort of kingdom does it reside in? What might you find inside, or in the area surrounding it?
For a little visual inspiration, this Pinboard offers thousands of real life castles or you can take a look at this great collection of castle artwork.
