Description
This only came to me the last few weeks, so it wasn't anything I ever RP'd at VH. But I'm tempted to write up a little something on it someday - we'll see.
Copied from the Harry Potter Lexicon (www.hp-lexicon.org)
A magnificent mirror, as high as a classroom ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, standing on two clawed feet. The inscription carved around the top reads "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi," which is "I show not your face but your heart's desire" written backwards (that is, in what is called 'mirror writing'). When you look into the mirror, you see the deepest, most desperate desire of your heart. The mirror has trapped people who can't bear to stop staring into it, unsure if what they see is going to actually happen.
I wasn't at all sure how to go about putting the inscription on the mirror so didn't. lol. But I think the render tells the story pretty well, at least if you know what the mirror is in the first place.

Really cool image and idea, John. I'm sorry I haven't been around much, but I've been working on a top secret project. You'll get to know what it is soon as I get through testing it. grin

The lighting and shadows came out great in this one, and using another render as the surface of the mirror gave a perfect result that coincides with your story well- nicely done!
