Description
"With the shattering of the crown, the skeletal army scattered. Through field and town, thicket and forest, the Legion hunted down the undead and peace was restored to Northsea... though the shadows of Zrie's presence would remain for some while longer."
Well, thats it, 12/12, the end of the planned series. This image is a bit different in style to what's gone before, but hey, what's the point of doing the same thing over and over again ;) The idea for the image came from the horror movies when, at the end, everything appears good, and then something happens, a hand comes up through the ground, or a slight breeze gives away the hint that all is not quite over. It's also an experiment with "Drawbridgep" lighting... note to self - don't use semi-transparent leaves with multiple soft shadow lights... huge render times result, though you do get some impressive control over the lighting.

No, no, no. That can't be. We want that picture of a skeletal hand clutching a sword... :-) Excellent.

Congratulations on the completion of your series, and I do like the new look to this render! Magnificent woodland scene, and has that special ending you were looking for! BRAVO!

I am not normally a fan of war and fighting type scenes, but I have enjoyed these enormously. I actually found myself adding the clanging of weapons in my head as I looked at them. :o) The plot, for me, is secondary to the brilliant use of lighting and materials you've managed. The haziness in Impact (S09) is astounding. Your work deserves every kudo it gets. :o)
