Default 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.

: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?

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.

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

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...

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

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).
