Description Hidden away for years beneath the creeping fingers of ivy, The Secret Cloister stands alone and forgotten...but not by all. Each day as the sun sets the lanterns flicker to life, bathing the ancient stonework in a golden glow, calling more than just moths to it's light...

Definitely worth a zoom...rendered in Daz Studio 2.

Love it - it will be so much fun to work with once it's done! Any idea when we'll see it at the store?

On a totally different note, the beta testing for DIII has started, and the videos looked pretty promising already. Thanks for handing me a nice tool to use when I want to create more Diablo fan art in the future!

It's all finished and ready to go here!

DIII does look pretty nice, I've not played any computer games for years but I fear I'll make an exception in this case. I must remember to fit some work into my game breaks though!

How could I miss that? Your props are always a pleasure to work with, so I'm already looking forward to see your next project... keep up the good work!

And DIII will indeed make it very hard to concentrate on going to work each day... blasted game addiction!

Hey, its time for Leoric's Rave party!
Grab a tab of X and a glowstick and get to dancing!

Looks great.

For some reason I had an image of playing xylophone on his rib cage with a couple of glow sticks!

Something like Saint Saens's Danse Macabre?


You know that would be a kickbutt picture to do, King Leoric and his skeleton
buddies in a Diablo 3 like scene except that its a rave party. Quite a challenge to combine Diablo 3 and a Rave. Diablo 3 has a brighter color palette than Diablo 2 or 1 but not as bright as a rave party.

Could almost see it in my head, Leoric standing up with colored ribbons hanging off of his crown, banging on his ribs with an orange and green glowsticks while the lesser skeletons dance around him. Leoric would be lit with bright orange and green so he is the focal point and the other skeletons would have less light.

Just an idea.

Oh wow, this is really beautiful work. I love the celtic knotwork on the arches and the little statues, just stunning.
