Description
Shadows fall. The veil thins. Spirits gather, clamouring to be heard. Their voices as the cries of ravens in the ears of the living. Despair! Evil! Wrong has been done and it MUST be made right! But who speaks for the dead? Who among mortals can restore these broken souls and bring them peace?
The necromancer known as Death's Justice, that's who!

Production notes: Written in Notepad, rendered in Stable Diffusion (NMKD Gui 1.5 version) and post worked till Judgement Day in TWO Photoshops (elements 2023 and CS2) and Corel Paintshop Pro. Why? Because even though it bore almost no resemblance whatsoever to the instructions SD was given (nearly wound up in the trash bin as a Very Bad Job) there was something about it that said "don't give up, play around and see what you can do." So I did, and this... is the result. Not half bad, if I do say so myself.
Credits: Photoshop brushes and overlay kits "Ron's Impressions", "Ron's Birds" and "Ron's Skulls" are available at Daz 3D.
P.S. My original title was "Still Not A Cat". Even though I ordered one -- specifically a cute Siamese kitty -- what I got was a human wearing vaguely Asian styled robes and practicing some sort of ritual involving carved pumpkins. Not so much as a whisker of a cat anywhere in sight. If this keeps up I'll have to consult an expert, so stay tuned for further developments.
P.P.S. Don't be afraid; it's only Halloween! ;-)
