Description
Hulda was a Scandinavian nature goddess, also as Holle in Germanic lore. She could be seen taking her wild walks with cats and other animals. I chose this subject for the Halloween contest as the "ghostly" selection, but I failed to meet the submission deadline. For me, Halloween is about spirits that even mortals can see at this time of year. Spirits can be awe-inspiring, raising the hair and prickling the skin, and unpredictable-sometimes benign, sometimes avenging. Posed in DAZ3D, rendered in Bryce7, and postwork in CorelPSP7. Gown and sandals by StudioArtVartanian. It took me a couple of days to decide how to present this, but actual work took about 2 hours to pose and render several times, and another hour to do the postwork.
