Description
"Let me in--let me in!"
"Who are you!" I asked struggling to disengage myself.
"Catherine Linton," it replied shiveringly (why did I think of Linton! I had read Earnshaw twenty times for Linton). 'I'm come home, I'd lost my way on the moor.'
--Excerpted from Emily Bronte's WUTHERING HEIGHTS, chapter three.
Tools used: Poser, Vue, the Gimp
I've been wanting to learn Poser and was suddenly inspired to add another image to my new literary series today.
Thanks for looking and for all of your insightful comments. Happy weekend!

Haunting and interesting work!!!! tom
Captures the mood of Bronte's writing perfectly. Wonderful artwork!
I agree with the previous comments; besides, I like the way you managed lighting, window reflections and, above all, the colour palette.
I like the way that the panes have split the image into sections. Three of them becoming especially important and thus creating a sort of triptic. Each segment with it's own rules and symbolism. Also, the semi-transparent figure becomes one with both the window glass and the background, giving her great depth and possibilities. The window frame represents safety for the onlooker.

Is she spirit or flesh? Does she belong in or out? We could be looking at someone's dream? The monochromatic aspect creates a dramatic depth of illuson. The panaoramaic quality seems to make escape not possible. She wants in. Will we be hypnotized by her trance. You are doing good work!!!
fine illustration
This is fantastic. You really caught the spirit of the words.
nicely done.
Stunning picture. I think you nailed the eerie, haunting mood of the novel. Your use of the monochrome here is particularly effective. Great job!
Very well done and haunting image!
fabulous !
Oh what a wonderful job you did translating Bronte into a poser scene! Fabulou work with color and lights!
Love the combnation image with litterature. Hm..wonder if i would dare to open?? Great composition!
Spooky! Very well done. Excellent colors to set the mood.
yes its wonderful how you put literature into your images and you manage to grab the mood quite very well, a wonderful idea and realization!
Whoa, this has a scary, kind of freaky feel to it. What a great job!
This is really well done. Is anyone inside dumb enough to open the window?
In the novel, this is part of a dream (or we wonder is it really a dream) wherein Catherine actually reaches through the window and grasps the visitor's arm. I wanted to capture the moment of a dream when we are unsure if it is a dream or in reality a ghost. It's a wonderful classic novel. Well worth reading. There are several movie versions, too. Though none of them tell the novelist's full original story, they do capture the mood. My favorite version is the 1970 version starring Timothy Dalton because I think he makes the best Heathcliff and I love the incredible film score written by Michel LeGrand. Another version by William Wyler is also haunting and has some great scenes, and of course Sir Lawrence Olivier is wonderful, too. I loved the novel and read it several times. It's been fun to revisit it again after all this time. Thanks all for your insightful comments.
