If we have the courage to pursue them."

This my goal - to find those special magical moments in a day and bottle them up into a wonderful story for others to explore and experience.

The 12th image for the 2023 Halloween Countdown

The 12th prompt, "Host", brought to mind images from the Korean movie "The Host" which is phenomenal and I highly recommend if you like creature features! However, I knew I did not have any assets that would do it justice. I then remembered a series of models from Sixus1 called Specimen, which to me are parasitic creatures on their host. So I ran with that idea, and here I also found my padded room to use.

So there might be a theme of insanity in some of my work lol! I do remember adding the bloodier features to the scenes because I felt it needed that extra added chaos element.

You might also notice, that sometimes I'll have a larger scene, but I tend to go in tighter with the camera. I noticed that myself when I was creating the series this year. The general rule is don't add any elements to a scene that will not be shown through the camera. This saves computer resources.

The more resources saved, the faster the render will be. Less memory is used by the graphics card.

Oh, she is a delicious dish, but I sure would not want to be in the room with her. I'm doubtful "she" is even there at all. The Specimen has surely consumed the host's mind!

Here, why don't you step into the padded cell and find out for the rest of us... 🙂
