July/Aug - Norm - Digitalshow
 

Hello everyone. Thought I would throw my hat into this one. I don't have any sketches yet...but I am imagining a graveside image with a skeleton arm/hand pushing forth out of a grave. In the boney hand is an old scary looking lantern...that lights up what the tombstone says. Just a rough idea...but thats where I am going to start.

aha !
that sound a bit like the thing I'm doing too...except for the hand, I have a gravedigging setup....lucky you're in the norm section....
:p
look forward to see your progress.....

Ok...had a little time tonight to start on the project. This is only a small part portion of the whole scene....so as I get more ready I will post up more test renders.

:attn: Oh - just had an idea...instead of the lamp for the lightsource...(which came out ok...but I don't think its scary looking enough) maybe the skeleton hand is holding a lamp made from a skull instead? With the light coming from inside it?

Sounds like a cool idea, can't wait to see some WIP

Got rid of my lamp and replaced it with the new and improved "skull lamp". Created a quick dagger also for effect.:p

Going to start working on the grave/tombstone now.

Due to someone I will not mention...admiralbcd....;)
I am switching my concept to something else hehe.

Thinking about the cool tunnel thing (with a twist) that sake was talking about not doing.

who ????me ????:p

good luck with your new ventures.....
I'd be glad if you do the tunnel, cause that idea is too good to be wasted...

He said he was cool with me doing the tunnel ... so I will start it tonight. :)

Ok...started on the tunnel. Here is my first test render...got a long ways to go. But it's a start.

nice start !!!
looks good even without textures.

here's a newbie question :
are those lights pointlights with lensflares attached to them or did you use luxigons or something else ???
( I'm trying to make my oillamp light :blush: )

I need to check when I get home tonight...but I think they ended up being Point-Lights with lensflares with a wee-bit of volumetric effect to them...then I added a filter effect to the whole image with photoshop (to "degrade" the image some).

I am happy with how it is coming...but now I have to figure out how to make it more scary...:eek:

Thinking of a back-lit HUGE spider thingy coming out of a vent in ceiling? Or maybe pulling a person up into it?

looks ace

Worked a little bit on the texturing and added some more details. Probably too much of the filtering effect but thought it looked cool so I posted it up. The spotlight in the middle (I am imagining - is going to come from a hand held flash light - to be added).
