Hi, very nice closeup :) The vampire lady looks right through you. Scary... As far as the surgery is concerned, I wish you a good surgery and a speedy recovery :)

Hernias can be very dangerous, and they don't get any better. It's usually in and out surgery. Best for you!

Gorgeous gothic scene, Steve !

wow, this carriage is fantastic! skeleton driver, blood, and lady vampire make this a cool halloween scene. the spooky lighting is good, too. nice work!

you have a big decision to make. are there people (even online people) who have been through it and can offer advice be of any help? good luck ((hugs))

Nice seasonal scene!

Outstanding scary stagecoach. Great lighting, excellent blood effect and background.

Just remember you are in charge of your body. Doctors are human also, and not always right. You have to decide what you can live with. My God provide you with wisdom on this issue. Hope for the best!

many thanks Rick, i am leaving it in our fathers hands. at this point i am not going for it.

The driver's been on the road too long, he looks dead tired.

excellent

Great job on this halloween-y scene, Steve! Hope and pray for the best result which ever way you decide to go, buddy. My hernia surgery a few years ago wasn't bad at all, but we're all different in the way our bodies react to things like this.

Steve, I wish you a quick recovery👍 Beautiful fantasy image!!! Really well done with a great quality render!!👍🙋‍♂️

This is wonderful work!

:-) beautiful scene

What ? Did you say "want a ride ?" The answer is 100 x NO ! Great scene, Steve.

Awesome work as always! Having to undergo surgery is such an personal decision, yet its always best to think of the alternative options first and then decide whats best for you my friend. Have a great Halloween Steve! :-)

I will wait for the next month to take the stage. the hardships that passengers faced on long stage rides had to be terrible.

I was on a former stage route that went through the El Paso area, and it had little resemblance as being passable

Superbe scène.

Excellent work, Steve. Weather you go through the surgery or not, you're in my prayers.

What a beautiful gothic scene, great dark carriage and lighting effects !!

Very nice work! I especially light the lights on the coach!

Lovely spooky work

That driver was really dedicated to getting his passenger to her destination!

The best to you whatever you decide to do!

Happy Halloween! I'll get of, maybe it's faster and safer on foot. ;-)

Good idea and interesting like this!

Wow, the new AI driver.., lool. Wonderful Gothic composition, amazing environment and lighting, brilliant awesome render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
About the hernia, you do what you consider best for you. Check your doctor's opinion on the matter.😊💖🥰

Cool driver and vampire Lady and a great gothic Halloween scene. Its not an easy decision . I wish you all the with, or without surgery! I live with hernia on both sides since a few years, but i have only small ones.

Grand job!!

Great idea and tones - very fitting for the season!

well steve, I'm going to try to comment on a bunch of your images after a few absences...it's time. It's always a pleasure to sit in your gallery.

This is a dark image but very effective. I love the woman in the carriage---she's almost invisible, and she sneaks up on us like a ghost. And the carriage is beautiful, and I love that it dominates the image.

Plus a skeleton driving the thing (!), and an ominous amber sky. (You have the sky seeping under the carriage too!) Terrific scary image, and the woman completes the whole thing.
