IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    When my mate told me the theme of this round my mind started

swimming in ideas from all the fantasy art that I'd seen when I was younger, and

then I remembered a picture I had drawn before I had gotten in to 3d modelling,

so I searched high and low until I found it amongst a pile of other drawings
from 
when I was in high school. A sword being bathed in a supernatural light by
Druids 
in an old castle, by the light of a full moon what could be more mystical than
that?


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Basically it's all box modelling with a lot of vertice manipulation and a lot of

meshsmooth Iterations. Video post for the glow around the ball and sword. The
bricks
are all individual boxes with a foliage picture from the max material library
for 
the bump map.
