IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

In the Temple of the Spider, a single lamp attracts its prey...


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The idea of the scene certainly has links with Tolkien and Lord Dunsany.
Most elements of the scene were first made with Moray. For the spider and the
running figure, Inverse Kinematics were applied. Yes, you are right, I do not
use (yet) Poser! The scenes of my parallel universe are peopled with these
articulated puppets used for drawing classes, and they have something to do
with my love for Surrealism (De Chirico for instance!) without a doubt.
The flagstones are made with a POV-Ray macro I wrote
