About nightmares, "Jack the Ripper" is no match against our "Prez. Bush the Ripper"! :-) Impressive image!

Very, very well done. I love the texturing here and your buildings are marvelous. The overall mood is fantastic! Bravo!!!

hiya thom i.ve been seen holding on to a lampost or two in my younger days...:) not any more though i realised the dangers of too much alcohol at an early age..the odd tipple never hurts though i feel sorry for your miss beddows..this is nicely done..with a great sense of fate and mood ..excellent stuff

Very nice texture work Kat!

Outstanding work! A wonderful job on the buildings and the story along with it all is just fabulous!

Nice sense of atmosphere about this piece. Just a suggestion - a bit of fog might heighten the mood of lurking evil further. I think the fence texture needs a little work, but historically would the houses in the poorer parts of Whitechapel at this time have had fenced front garden, even as small as this? (I had not envisaged this to be the case, but make no pretence whatever to accurate knowledge on the question.) On the subject of size though, there seems to be a problem of scale. I hope poor old Jack doesn't dive into one of the houses to hide after his dastardly deed - he'll certainly get a severe bump on the head if he does!

Well you have done a great job, evil idea, seems to be a comunb theme on the world stage, congrats to you. Psss, where did you get the clothes for Jack,hat,cane,jacket. need those. keep it up, maybe a theme story here.

Very creepy feeling to this; I agree with Flycatcher about some fog. Great job!

Ah, the secret is lifted. Jack the Ripper is you. Who else would know so exactly how such a scene looks like. Excellently done!

Great scene, I'd go along with the fog idea and the little terraced houses of the period would be straight onto the street. The taller buildings from the Georgian era tended to have a small area in front with railings round, but that was usually where steps went down to a basement. Even so a good scene, and I like the texturing and modelling of the houses pavement etc. Dave

Hi all,I have read a lot on this subject, so I was just testing the waters, as they say, with this image, to see what sort of response I would get, I must say, Thanks for all the comments and observations, they are greatly appreciated..I will have to work on fog if I decide to continue this theme..As I can remember years ago when I used to travel around the East End of London, there were still some cottage type houses as depicted, did have low doorways you also took a couple of steps down from the pavement, Jack I believe was described as over 6feet tall so would have to duck down anyway, He would never hide from his victims as being ladies of the night they would have aproached a well dressed gent in the hope for custom. There would probably be no fences, but I started the scene off as back garden area's but ended up with this, yes I do agree thet the fence texture is crap but it was straight from the vue library :o) Tom!

excellent job! ... I like the composition very much and the story and scene are excellent.

I agree with FrenchKiss! Very beautiful work!

Excellent work kat , would like to see this theme continue , well done:-)

I am now working on a Re-Worked version that has no fencing and lots of fog.. Will post it soon, thanks!! Tom

I agree with all the previous comments but would add that the street seems remarkably clean - no rubbish at all. I would have expected some (and maybe a slinking dog somewhere). Nevertheless a brilliant piec of work. I wish I'd done it!

Wonderful artwork! Excellent mood and textures!

great work
