Description
The Chronicles of Inthandonia, Part 4: The Wizard Wars
Into the unknown
From the Journal of Bolgaradol Smeckter:
"By A'tozi's toenails, I am in! At last, though I am wearied beyond weariness, I am inside!
For three days and three nights I have focused and tuned my Star of Angorak incantation, tweaking it's control parameters to find the optimum frequencies to initiate a resonant ray that will transmute this alien substance faster than it can repair itself.
And at last I have triumphed - my weariness fades in the light of my success - I, Bolgaradol Smeckter, have acheived what no Inthandonian Wizard before me could do - I am inside the Artefact, inside the unknown!
Strangeness beyond imagining lies before my - my mind is beseiged with the alien psychic battering of this insane thing. I keep my mental and Thaumic sheilds up for I know not what would befall me should I relax them - the mental power in here is incredible, sufficient to boil my very brain in my head should my shields waver.
Enough writing, I must explore further...."

The various pod structures and buildings are all freebees - the character mesh is my own and the strange light pods are actually a SC plant from the Vue 8 sci-fi Plant library with all the settings zeroed out and a metallic texture applied.
I guess my last pic lacked something as so far there's only 3 comments there - with 2 versions of this one here's hoping I get a few more hits! :)
C&C always appreciated - for more of the story go to www.wizitch.com

Hi Steve - I've been trapped in another dimension, which is why I'm so late getting to your work (this is still 2011, isn't it?) This is superb. Huge sense of scale, wonderful models and lighting, and outstanding composition. Not to mention great writing! Rock on...!!!
