Description EDIT: The WRONG FILE of this was up for about 32 minutes, 5 of which DA was down. Argh, glad I caught that, miinor but VERY important differences. ^^'

EDIT 2 (4/25/08): I made MAJOR changes to this picture. I darkened just about everything, I hope it gives it a more creepy and haunting feel. I added shadows (gasp) for the tombstones, the dragon, the woman, the tree, and the castle. I tried to leave some parts lighter to look like the moons reflection. I really hope it has improved this piece.

You still may want to download to see all the awesome details, (I cannot see the shadows very well on the fullview so you may not either) and all FOUR ghosts. Zombies not included ^_^
(I also changed the category to 'Dark'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been working on this very hard for the past couple of weeks. I am rather proud of it, I think I am improving. ^^

This is my first atempt at Blood Castle, a creation of my awesome partner-in-crime . Blood Castle is home to the Dark Lord Kero Wine (also her creation) in our comic, Children of Fate ([link] ).

The woman is his wife and demi-goddess Ambika and the dragon is his best friend (obviously not in human form) Vito (both my creations).

I added three ghosts and two zombies. Make sure you view it FULL SIZE or download to find all three. (BTW fullsize is I think 1/2 of the download size)

I consulted ~DragonSlaveDragoon throughout the working of this picture to make sure I had her approval. I hope I have succeeded in bringing her creation to life.

Maybe one day I'll make this a print...

Blood Castle takes place in a fictional word crated by me and a friend of mine, where there happens to be two moons in the sky.

I recognise that gravestone!!!! Thanks for using some of my stock, it's great to see it being used.
Awesome job on the image, I can see it must have taken ages to put together!

Looks amazing! I love the two moons, and the dark colours. You chose a very appropriate castle, what with the red plants climbing up it.
Lovely assortment of gravestones, too!

Thanks a lot. I was hoping it looked spooky enough. I was really picky about the stock I used, I wanted to get it just right.

I love this picture and it looks how I would imagine Blood Castle to look, especially the Vito and Ambika up on the top. I think you've really improved in your photomanipulation abilities, keep up the good work baby, I love you!

I still have a long ways to go, but I think It's a lot more indepth then my first one. Did you find all three ghosts?

Thanks. ^^' I'd like to think I'm improving. When I saw that gravestone with the reflection, I knew it would be perfect for this picture.
