Description

Historians assert that the game originated in the 19th century at the Harrow School, just outside London in England, as a derivative of the game of Racquets. The first recorded construction of purpose-built squash courts was at Harrow in the 1860s. However, the true origins of the game go back a bit further and are of a darker nature than originally thought. An image I created for a contest at another site. Didn't win anything, but had fun making the image. Lots of postwork in PSP8 in this one, my computer would choke if I actually tried to render all those characters at once. The caste is one of Rodluc's freebies. Rock textures are my creation and available in my freebies. Troll and M2 from DAZ. Thanks for taking a look.
