On a particularly dreary Samhain night, the powerful sorceress Seravon is suddenly disturbed in her inner sanctum, by a very nervous looking messenger. The messenger informs her that there is something strange going on at an old deserted mansion nearby. This is no ordinary mansion however. Seravon herself had imprisoned a great and evil force there many years ago. It seemed to her that the evil of the mansion had once again broken free to terrorize the land of the living. After her arrival at the mansion, she noticed a single eerie yellow light, emanating from an old lamp in front of the house. The house itself seemed much as she remembered it, lonely, deserted and decaying. Before she could investigate the house itself however, she finds herself confronted by a physical avatar of the great evil within. As she begins to cast her spell, her hand pulsing with the powerful light, she wonders... Will she be in time...? Image created using a few programs. Characters created using a combo of Poser 6 and Carrara 5. Terrain in C5, Backdrop and moon in a combination of Bryce 5.5 and Carrara for clouds. (I really wish you could increase the moon size in Carrara, it would make life a lot easier.) Textures for ghoul were custom made in PSP X. Some postwork in PSP X. I hope you all like it. It took almost a month of work to get a version which Carrara could render without giving me memory allocation errors.
