request Anyone up for a challenge?

[Tom Snyder 4,113]

What i want to do is make an image for The Rainbow Gate, its a relic in my story that opens a gateway to other worlds. But its also dangerous and unstable, which means if its opened, it could possibly be the end of everything.

Here are the details:

- The language written on them is the long lost language of the ponies, and has never been used in centuries. Twilight is the one i chose who will translate it.

- The color of the runes is a spectrum of the rainbow, all anypony would have to do is say the incantation and it creates the gateway for them.

- The object itself is a tablet, cracked in some places, but still readable. But i have no idea for how to do the appearance in pictures.
-------------------------
For those who will take this challenge, i thank you.

That's fine. I trying to see who can do what, if you can handle the language, then i'll see if anyone can do the pics.

Have you seen the Rosetta Stone? No, I don't mean the company that makes "teach yourself Spanish" books. The actual stone that the company was named after.

 

It's in the British Museum in London (though there are plenty of photos online).

 

It's famous because it dates from 196 BC, and it has the same text written in three different languages: ancient Greek, Demotic Egyptian (the at-the-time-it-was-written current way of writing the Egyptian language), and hieroglyphs. This is important, because in the 18th century, when the stone was discovered, nobody knew how to read hieroglyphs. People had found them all over Egyptian ruins, and could tell that they were writing, but didn't know what they said. Once the Rosetta Stone was discovered, linguists and archaeologists had side-by-side versions of the same text in ancient Greek and hieroglyphs, and could at last start to figure out what the hieroglyphs meant. Nowadays, archaeologists have a pretty good understanding of hieroglyphs, and that's all down to the Stone.

 

Anyway, it's a pretty awesome looking thing, and it might be a good candidate for the look of your artefact.

There are some threads on the EQ language & the EQ alphabet that might help.  I'd set up a link but I don't know how.  As to the gateway itself, look to Eschar & Bosch for inspiration or maybe Salvador Dali, (but he's kind of light for this), it would be my suggestion.  In Cerberus The Aardvark, Dave Sim used the idea of all black word balloons w slime dripping off & white letters.  Takes practice but looks cool for ultra evil characters

So use this as the relic?

On the second row of icons, it'll be the 9th one that will let you do that.

Almost done with the language

I'd do it if I had photoshop, I took a class on it and what you ask for is ridiculously easy to do, but my computer is too dumb to use it. I even had it all planned out :c

I don't know anything about image editing, so its why i'm asking.
