    A great and wonderful winter night. The picture of the burning dragon is fantastic!

      That's the title for part two of her short travel...for a reason!

      Thanks a lot, Izzy!

      That dragon really sneaked up on me, because I was looking forward to a nice night stroll and suddenly the shadows of dark wings covered the moonlight...

    This Lut is a good choise to portray the icy snowy landscape. Looks great and the red hair of her is a great highlight here. Love the music for it

      I've liked the Cleanbean LUT since I tried it for the first time. It's not among the top five, but still a favorite if that makes any sense. It has this cold approach to it, giving the nights an aura of magic and dark foreboding that I feel very intrigued by. It's easy to depict a world covered in darkness and eternal winter with this LUT...

      So many characters, but I'm rather happy I do have a lot of them, because they add new personalities to the sets, even if the travels might seem the same many times. Always nice to find a good mix of images and music too!

      Thanks, Heike!

      That's very kind of you to say and I'm glad the "visual story" was able to be done! Most of the time, I simply snap what images I see in game and it's only when I start sorting them out, I try to merge them together with a sense of a tale. It's not always working of course, but for some reason it often do. Maybe it's because I've done this style for so long now, it simply comes naturally? I don't know, but many times I'm surprised myself about the result, since the images do tell the story rather nicely...

    This valley is one of my favorite wintery spots, I love how you've captured it here.
    Cool character too, I like how her headwear looks like snowflakes :)
    Well done, Rick

      It's indeed a very nice spot in the gameworld with the tranquil lake near Nightgate Inn with wintery trees and snowy rocks surrounding it. The place makes for lovely serene landscape shots too, either it's a sunrise, a sunset or the silvery moons upon the sky.

      The character is one of my younger elves, yet she has travelled far and wide in the world already. The headpiece is an entirely new look for her - as is the hair - since I wanted to try a few changes for her.

      Thank you very much, Dylan!

    Very nice set. I like the contrasts, especially with her red hair to the background.

      Yeah, that red hair stands out quite a lot in this otherwise very greyish and blue collection of images. The darkness is almost overwhelming in some shots too, yet fragile if any colour tries to break through, o it does give off a nice glimmering here and there. There's a second part to this set too, yet to be uploaded.

      Thank you, Gerd!

    Very beautiful, and mystical... and the title is perfect. Poetry.

      The title is the start of a phrase used by some religious people in "Game of Thrones" - although you probably knew that already - and the idea was to finish the line with a second set, since it's rather fitting. The dark will continue in the next part once I get it uploaded...

      Thank you for the kind words, Sonja!

      This was supposed to be a slow tranquil walk through the night, but she didn't get very far until that dragon emerged. She got attacked by another monster soon after the dragon got killed too, but that's for the second part of this set...

      Thank you kindly!

      There was supposed to be a "follow up" set to this one, completing the title phrase, but hours are ticking away and I'm a bit sleepy, so I save the other upload for later..

      I very much enjoy this LUT, because it gives a very gloomy atmosphere that I like. Nights are barely visible without a light source, but you still can see although it makes the world appear as if you're inside some shadow realm with shades all around you. It made the dragon fight rather interesting too since it had some kind of arcane bombard spell to shout at me, yet very hard to detect with it's black scales.

      The hair is amazing, although it's a wig and it comes in a pack called "[dint] hair hdt" or something like that.

      Thanks a lot, Will!
