IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    I have developed a love for Americana and have gravitated
towards stories and images that are a part of American folklore.  Most small
towns have a good legend or two about a haunted church yard, and several of
them focus on a ghostly/ghastly bride who wanders the night looking for people.
 I didn't base this image off of any one story, but off of the idea of all of
those legends.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The figure of the bride was a freebie download from Renapd.  Her website is:

I used Paint Shop Pro 5 to open up the Poser 3 nude female texture and add
mottling/bruising to her skin before applying it to the figure in Bryce.  I
simply made an image that was a mess of black and purple and blue patches, and
used the cloning brush paint it onto the map.

Everything else is pure Bryce, including the textures.  The trees are part of
the few standard pieces of foliage that come with the program, and the church,
tombstones, and fencing are all made out of Bryce.  The church and tombstones
are created of grouped primitives, and the fencing is a greyscale image drawn
in the terrain editor.  The textures  are presets that I adapted/changed in the
Deep Texture Editor.
