Background created in Bryce, including background mist and lighting on the water. Characters rendered in Poser 6 and saved as PNGs, then postworked in Photoshop 6 -- the light on Isabelle's sword is Jepe's ThrowZ from DAZ and was rendered with her. The funnel was originally a terrain/cone combination of waters and atmosphers in Bryce, VERY postworked with multiple layers and transmaps in Photoshop, smudged, painted with Heavenly Hair 4 and regular airbrushes, and another of Jepe's ThrowZ faintly lain beneath it all. Very fun project, thanks for the nifty theme!
