Description

I never win contests, but no one can say "If you don't enter you can't win" ... lol So, I entered. :D Those that did win totally deserved it. They were my favs, too. I'm not spooky enough, I don't think. I just don't 'see' that way ... lol. I do love spooky imagery, though. If you zoom, you can see a lot more detail, but I always hate the 'saved for web' distortion ... lol. The accompanying description from the contest: ~ I used DS3 & PS for post. I like images that can express more than one possible interpretation. My inspiration this year was thinking about the wedding night going really bad. The main composition took about two days, another for little details, and two more for draping the dynamic fabrics. Render too forever due to a failing hard drive, so I took a week off to fix the computer, then the render took roughly 4 hours at a 3000 scale. I mentioned a dual interpretation possibility ... Did the hanged figure do something heinous, deserving his fate, maybe something leaving her vulnerable and mournful? Or did a stranger turn her intended wedding night of bliss into a horrid memory by ripping her love from her after consummating their vows? You decide ... ~ My last upload ...

Don't feel bad that you didn't win... I've been here 6 years and if you go back and look at the halloween contest through the years, there is an artist that makes just pumpkin images - he/she never goes by the theme, but if you look at the past contest you'll see they win -Is the contest fixed? I can't say, some pieces I think should win... but this pumpkin artist, I went to there gallery and read that they are "proffessional", so I think they have a huge following or maybe has a conection with Renderosity and gets voted to win every year - now, I don't know if it's every year, but it's enough to make me wonder. I think you're art is fabulous, no, it's not scary - but I feel the contest leans away from that - humor doesn't work to good either - lol - I've tried. I don't enter the contest expecting anything, I love the challenge, I love hearing a theme and the theme comes alive in my imagination and then I try to create that. During my school days, I won contests all the time, so I do wonder what I did wrong or how could I of made something better. ...as I said, I like your piece and feel it is in tune with the theme. the art it's self makes me think of a childhood favorite "the Hobbit"
