Our 2015 Halloween contest was a success! We had loads of beautiful, creative and wonderful images, which I’m sure choosing just one was quite difficult.  But, in the end, the community chose 4 winners from each category. Therefore, I decided to interview the Grand Prize winners from each category. So, please congratulate member sarita187 for winning Grand Prize in the Writers category.

Her description reads, “Ever seen footsteps in the snow suddenly disappear? They may not belong to what you think.”

So, tell me about your image.

Well, the thumbnail is the wraith that a hunter has been tracking through a snowy forest.

How long did it take?

I wrote the story in an afternoon, put it down for a few days and picked it up again to do some tweaking. I actually wrote four stories altogether, two of which I decided needed to be longer than the 1000 word limit, then picked this one out of the two that fit inside the word limit. The thumbnail took about an afternoon/evening.  I never pay very close attention to how long it takes for me to put together a render. It takes as long as it takes.

What inspired you to do it?

You could say it was losing last year's contest.

How long have you been a member and have you participated before?

I joined Renderosity in 2007, but you can probably tell that I haven't spent much time on the site. I only discovered the contests last year. This is the first time I've won something here.

How long have you been an artist?

Forever? Every kid starts out as an artist. Some just never change.
