IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    First I thought about a really mysterious thing, the
religion. I though about making the interior of a gothic cathedral, but it was
simply too difficult for me, and because I had only twenty days to come up with
something I had to think about something simpler. Night! It is mysterious too,
but making a cemetery or something like that wouldn't have been very original.
I thought about taking a common thing and making it mysterious. Maybe... a desk
with something strange on it! Some religious objects on a desk by night...
right! After that i thought about putting a mistery to solve in the picture...
the writings on the lower-left sheets really mean something! Look closely at
the details, you may discover something strange in the other objects too...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    I made all the image maps with Corel
Photo-Paint. For some of the textures I used Moray, but I modified them all
with POV-Ray. The only things that i didn't make are the POV-Ray logo model in
the trophy and some of the metal textures (i used metals.inc). I made all the
models with hamaPatch except the trophy, the table, the walls and the
magnifying lens. The magnifying lens, the alarm clock and the scissors are
three of my old models, but I made the others for this image. If you want to
use my models you must ask me first (just for curiosity). This is my first
"serious" scene... I hope you like it.
