Description
In his 400-year quest to free his master from the demon's prison, Taiev Kyrisifal, Magister of the Sophic school, got into a lot of tight spots. You *know* that nobody in their right mind builds a temple in a cavern by an underground lake. You *know* this is bad news.
Yup, bad news, but that's where the trail led.
Production notes: My own M4 Enhanced character with Elite Stratton skin; Palladin armor/Imperial Brotherhood texture; pants from Wildenlander outfit/Wild Brotherhood set; Eminence with Poisen's Badlands cave and Tentacles (woot!); my own lighting. Hair, fog, spells, goop, and venom added in post. Don't just not-feed after midnight, avoid this whole place! Or throw it a fish first, or something!

LOL-"Throw it a fish or something first?" DEAD Great POV and effects in this one, Nan! The lighting is spot on for underground work-splunking much lately in that snow of yours? GRIN Great action in this one-can almost hear the growling and water along with Taiev's "What...the hell am I doing here" muttering. Snicker
Excellent scene & effect, nice work.

Masterfully done!
Fantastic composition! AmaZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzing ambiance lighting!
Really really outstanding work. I'm surprised you haven't been snatched up by some RPG game publisher to do work! What is Eminence? Is it the creature? Am I missing out on a cool monster? Awesome special effects. I need to put that paladin suit in my wishlist and save it for a rainy day when I can afford it! :P
Really Excellent!
