"I know your dreams.
I revel in your nightmares.
I dwell in the wooded halls of your superstitions,
and feast on the blood of your fears."

"They ... strengthen me.
As do your screams."

Created in Poser with minimal postwork over the span of about 40-ish hours actually sitting at the computer, including an overnighter to get it polished and rendered.  It took some time for the idea to solidify in my mind, but I knew that I wanted to base it on common, ordinary fears that had grown to very unordinary proportions.  Spiders and snakes were on the original list, but I then added water after finding out via research that it was a common fear.  At a couple of points I had the scene nearly done and then completely scrapped one area or another because it didn't feel like it worked together.  Finally, adding fog seemed to help the most -- it leant depth to the scene and allowed some of the many details to just fade away.

K4 with her vintage dress, DAZ black widows, Stonemason's vines, and Poisen's many, many awesomely creepy trees and rocks.  Nearly every item re-shadered by hand with custom lighting.
