IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Three cowled figures holding staffs stand around a mysterious fire
whose flames cast an eerie purple light on the surrounding stone circle.
The night is overcast, and a ground fog blanks the ground.
High above the strange dead "trees" surrounding the circle rears
the apparition they have gathered to summonse: an elder god, taking monstrous
form.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Almost all "solid" objects (cowled figures, stones, "trees", monster)
were modelled in hamaPatch, then exported as POV files
and textured using procedural textures or simple pigments, through hand
editing of the POV files. The sky is a simple textured sky sphere.  The
fog is a simple POV ground fog, while the fire is two concentric spheres
to which "media" effects have been applied.  There is a terrain below
the fog, consisting of a height field, itself generated from a seperate
render.
