Description
"Keeper of the gates of the Netherworld, Aieb Nechros was back in time just a human necromancer, she sacrificed her own life to the preservation of the barrier, to prevent the evil seeds of chaos from dripping into the world of the living. With the defeath of the lords of chaos in the seventh age, her duty was no longer needed, but the high council decided to seal her away because she became corrupted with the powers of chaos - burning with age and thirsty for revenge, the dark wizard became the new mistress of chaos, grouping the fallen remains of the armies of chaos around her, and she keep guarding the gates, and each soul fated to the banishment in the netherworld is tested against her champions, as she searches a new commander for her new army... The time will come..."
Eh! This one was done very fast by my standards - and as a result there are a lot of things i don't really like in this one - the POV could be better, the lights are not realistic, it is fairly simple and there is very little postwork... "why post, then?" - i hear you asking... :) Well, because this one *had* to be there today - as it is dedicated to one most wonderful person, which is celebrating today the anniversary of her coming to this world - ***Happy Birthday*** Azr1el!!! :D You didn't think i would miss this one, did you? ;) I really hope you like it even if it's a bit rushed!!

And of course a big thank you to the viewers for sparing a moment of their time, and maybe for leaving a comment (which are always appreciated) if they are so inclined.
A *very special* thank you goes also to a bunch of persons which i won't mention - they are any and all of those who asked, begged, poked, complained or threatened me about my lack of posts - while it might seem that i don't really care since i post so rarely, i appreciate every word so much more than i can tell! You all rock, folks!! :D
One last note before i go - many people knows already my feeling toward the whole hot20 thing... but for those that still don't, should i decide to participate in a contest (which is how i see the hot20...) i'll post my image in a contest page, not in the main gallery - so i respectfully ask you all to *not vote* for this pic (not that it deserve any, i mean... :D) - i don't want to hurt your feelings, but should you feel "that itch" to your clicking finger, please resist it and you'll do me a favor! That, and because a wired a bunch of poisoned needles into the button - click at your own risk! ;D
Till next time,
Grim

Hmm..what can I say Cris? I know that you have a lot of humour, and that you like to joke a lot, and now I am really unsure if you are joking with me whan you say that this is a quicky and that there is a lot of things you don't like in this picture. To me it looks flawless, and I know that I could not have made anything half as good as this. All the details that you have used here are really impressive, and the way you have posed her in that ring of candles looks wonderful my friend :) You have a very own spevial way to create dark images, and I truly love them, it's only that I cannot make scenes like this myself that keeps me away from trying to do dark fantasy images. I totally love the way the light is shining on her cheek from the lightshe is holding in her hand..it looks awesome! :) That monster too, I am not a big fan of monsters from the start, but in your pictures they always looks so cool, you KNOW how to use them exemplary in your scenes. I will respect your wish about not clicking on that vote-buttom, even if I truly mean that this image belongs to the hot20 gallery. So long the hot20 is there even if we like it or not. Really excellent work Cris..and you picture gets my vote in my heart, but not with the vote buttom ;)A wonderful dedication, and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES to Azr1el! :) ~Big (monster) hugs from Hedda ;)~

Ooooh! Me likes! I've been remiss in my commenting! I love the bit of story that you posted with it. It's always so nice to get a feeling for what the artist is thinking when they create an image. Good job!! naga hugs hehe!

Looking at your gallery, you may not post often but when you do post it simply takes the breath away!! Awesome POV and excellent concept!! Excellent work!! I'll pass on being a guest LOL
Whimsical
Think we all manage to see what we consider 'flaws' in our own works. From where Im looking at it, this is an amazing render; the textures and the amount of detail that is in the image itself is fantastic. Great render! :-)
Axeye
Instinctively my finger was headed right for that darn "VOTE" button!!! I mean when I love an image I automatically go for that button. I can't help myself! Okay so you might not think this image is so great but heck, I really do! Okay so maybe you could have done something better with it, well I doubt if I could have made it this good with a ton of effort!!! Your character looks stunning (Beloved Nyte), and dangerously beautiful! That Jersey Devil guy is one ugly looking character! Which I like very much as well!!! LOL Oh Chris the doctor wants to know what kind of poison was on those needles, I couldn't resist that darn button!!! Please hurry my cell phone battery is failing and I don't want to lose connection... Arghhhh...............

This is your masterpiece! Excellent picture, very detailed and full of good ideas. The demon is fantastic! This image perfectly shows good use for freebies, some of them are wonderful! Dark mage is also a great product, especially the "wings" prop at the figure's back. V
