"Mouth sewn shut and locked in a box of stone and glass, Amen-ra was slowly mummufied over time by the salt of his own tears. Remembering the words of the evil pharoh that loomed over him during the ceremony of ever-life, Amen-ra knew that the tears would one day be the drowning death of him" Box of Stone and glass = earth Tears = water Two elements. Horror = Living mummification by your own tears, only to have those same tears centuries later be the thing that kills you. Process: I rendered a white head as a base for the lighting. no morphs at all. I then painted, textured, and built everything else up in Photoshop.
