Description
The following day Sam and Amy depart from Lyto. Their path takes them toward the mysterious chasm known as Gremmel's Gorge. As they approach the looming cliffs their path is crossed by a Black Cat.
The trouble with cats is that they are... otherworldly. They exist on both the physical and non physical planes. This is why cats can see things that people can't. This is how cats can appear to move from one place to another without having to actually cross the intervening space in between.
Cats are also very improbable creatures - as they walk across someones path they leave a small corridor of distorted probability in their wake. Some folk say crossing this corridor will lead to good fortune - others say it leads to ill fortune. All agree it will lead to a different fortune, to unexpected outcomes and often to magick.
Of course on a planet such as Inthandonia, with it's naturally enhanced magickal background energy, the improbabilities generated by crossing a black cats path can be very powerful indeed.....
In this world modelling a convincing cat is surprisingly difficult - it took me longer to create the cat than it did to create the much larger caravan!
The modelling was done in various versions of trueSpace 7.x, rendering was done in Vue 6 Pro Studio and 2d texture work was done using the GIMP and Irfanview.
