Description
Howdy Folks.
Here's a little something I knocked up using some of my earlier models. The suspension bridge has appeared in various other pictures and the church building was originally built for my "Autumn in Venice" pic. These were built in tS 6.6 then exported to Vue 5 Esprit which I used to compose and render the background.
The result was then used as a background shader in trueSpace. The vampire character was started in Makehuman 0.9 and finished and textured in tS 6.6 with textures painted using The GIMP.
The final touch was building a bat in tS 6.6 and bending several copies to make a small flock then composing and lighting the results in tS 6.6.
I've just finished reading "The Night Watch" by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko which inspired this picture. Not my usual type of subject.
I hope you all enjoy this and please leave a comment or two.
Cheers

awesome image
Great image! Captures the mood and action perfectly. (The title cracked me up! Lol!)
Commented elsewhere but I'll add one here too - the (This Sucks) double entendre, too funny! He looks ready for some action, and huuuungryyyy!! Excellent work!
Like your mum said, "no cheese before bed time!" Great image wiz!
Awesome! Love the lighting effects, especially how they accent his teeth and eyes.:)
Superbly done! I was just watching a show on vampires on the History Channel!
nice...looks a bit like the bridge is hanging from his teath..but I like it ;o)TAnc
Thanks to all for taking the time to comment. I'm glad that a few of you got a chuckle from the title too! Tanczos, yeah the bridge placement was deliberate. As a photographer I learned to always check the background so that you don't have trees or streetlights growing out of your subjects head! In this case I wanted the bridge to symbolically suggest a roadway taking the victims to the Vampire over the years - so many victims crossing the bridge from life and safety (the church and other buildings) to death. Thanks again WZRD
