Description
The priests were desperate, with the rise of King Charles, their way of life was in jeopardy.
King Charles was a Christian convert, and had no tolerance for the old ways.
So the priests decided to take drastic measures, and began the complicated rituals needed to summon a pagan king back from the dead.
They truly believed that the long dead king, whom once was their fiercest champion, would again come to their aide and rid them of this usurper.
They were wrong!
The pagan king did not wish to be brought back to the world of flesh, and his rage was terrible to behold.
Several peasants claimed that night was filled with the horrific screams of the doomed priests.
After reading 2Loose2Trek's comment, it was clear to me,
I had to add the story, that came to mind as I created this image/animation.
"The Summoning (Animation)"

This really does complete the total experience of the 2 uploads...I like the story and both views of the artwork..fine image and appropriate Halloween mood piece ! --now Cookin Cajun Style on the barbeque network !!
I like your shadows behind the fire. very nice.work.
I liked the ani but this is awesome as a still and the story makes it all the more so; I still love those shadowy monks...they complete the whole image and give it the 'spooky' atmosphere.
Wonderful image ... it gives truth to the old adage that one should let sleeping dogs (erm ... or is that gods) lie. I love the way this story developed. I'm glad that my offhanded comment helped spark this excellent piece. V

Looks good as a still too! Very cool story!
Sorry Pascale?I wonder why...Anyway,wonderful work here Eric.Looks soooo cool and mysterious.Very evocative.Thanks for providing the story behind it.Take care my friend and thanks for your comment.-M :)
Outstanding in all ways
hell yes the story is perfect for the gore lovers out there like me! great animation too!(on the other one :P)
oh....like a story told before a campfire...the night sounds become louder, and the movement just beyond the edge of darkness seem to be banished only by keeping a light on....! great job
For some secrets should always remain secret. For the old code sometimes forgets to leave a do-not disturb sign for the curious of mind...Wonderful work in a spooky way...Bravo!!!...:))
Fanttico ! Love the story !
oh mann that gives me goosebumps!!! WOW COOL!!! WHAT WONT YOU THINK OF NEXT??!!! WOW!!
More than once I have been referred to the Pagan Prince from the Dead....You Rang Sir?
Nice! I can't decide if I like it better still or animated. But I love the storyline!! And I wouldn't want to be yanked back from the dead to serve them, either. It's plain rude. ;-) V
The story gave your work a twist....well done !!!!!

Excellent story line and wonderful designing !!~******~!!
Very effective spooky image - excellent use of color and pattern - superior mood and effects! ~v~
First class. I prefer this one to the animated version; it has more atmosphere IMO.
