They just announced the contest winners for that Halloween contest I entered so I can now post my image, I didn’t win but the one I voted for and thought was exceptionally better than any others including my own didn’t finish in the top five either, guess I’m just a little out of sync.
This is the text that went along with the entry:
"The gossip around the neighborhood, the Beaumont twins were quiet and kept to themselves. Most everyone was certain they had been introduced at one time or another, yet if they thought about it no one could remember when they had or whether or not they had ever been guests in the old Beaumont home.
Yes the twins were quiet, no one could complain, most assumed they both spent a lot of time out of town, usually the only time anyone ever saw either of them was late at night.
It was different on All Hallows’ Eve, the twins hosted a party every year and they both did enjoy a delicious party. And this year as opposed to past, several from the neighborhood were invited. Most could not wait to get inside."
This image was inspired by my fascination with vampires. With the exception of the characters, clothing, and hair everything was modeled and textured by hand, including the character’s skin textures. I used C4D for modeling and rendering. Photoshop and Bodypaint were used for materials. Additionally PS for some touch up postwork.
Not sure about how many hours, but I worked on this image for about 10 days. I had a blast working on this and being very much a student of digital art learned a ton.
Best of luck to all others who are entering, and most of all thanks for sharing your art.

I modeled this image after some of the pictures that I took at the cemetery last weekend. A really cool way of doing things rather than just trying to picture in my head how something might be put together. I’m a little bummed because I probably would have made a few more adjustments and renders, but I forgot to save before going to bed early this morning. When I go up my PC had done an auto reboot for an update, so I lost a bunch of work. I should know better, oh well.
This was modeled completely in Cinema 4D and a lot of the materials were done in BodyPaint. BTW a few people have asked me about the name on the mausoleum and whether or not it means anything, answer is no it doesn’t have any special meaning, I just picked a name and didn’t want to use like Smith or Jones.
I’m also trying something different with the full size image, it’s in a plain HTML page, I wanted to do it that way so that it would display the true full size.
