Description So to start off, you may notice that this scene is a different size than any of the other ones I've ever made. That's because it's my first 1080HD scene! Yay! I don't know how frequently I will do this, but this particular scene did not take to long to render at this size so I figured I'd do it.


Anyway, this scene is (obviously) set in a Forest Temple of some sort. While making this, I had no intention of making it look like any particular Forest Temple but instead just making it look more like a building that has been abandoned in a forest for many years. I added Navi in this partly to light up the shadows a bit but also to add another character to the scene. I put a "painting" of the Poe Sisters in there pretty much for nostalgia value and to put something moderately important on the right side of the scene. I used a picture of each of the four ghosts and brought them into Photoshop where I arranged them, put a couple of filters on them and enhanced the light of their torches.


I have to say, I'm very proud of how this turned out.

This temple scared the crap out of me. The eerie music and the whoosh of the Wallmasters approaching freaked me out.

Great picture, though. You captured the dark and mysterious mood of the Forest Temple very well.

Thank's I'm glad you liked it.

This was actually my favorite temple. I always loved the music, and the atmosphere was perfect. The temple that scared me was the Shadow Temple/Bottom of the Well, mostly because of the Dead Hands.

I wasn't too fond of the Well, either.  I didn't even stay to get the extra Skulltulas (though I'm going to go back for them this time)--I got out of there as soon as I got the Lens of Truth!

I think the worst part of the well (aside from the Dead Hand) was trying to get past all the Redeads to get to the treasure chest. The screams those things make horrified me as a child and even to this day, I'm still not exactly OK with them.

It's so annoying when they scream and you can't move.

What a scene! I love the atmosphere in this picture, with the lighting and the things you have put into this. I didn't see the picture of the poe sisters at first, but when I did, it added more atmosphere to the picture, especially for people who've been through the forest temple where these sisters came from. Great work here!

Thank you I really tried to get the lighting to look good in this, and as I said, I even included Navi in here to add more to the lighting lol so it's nice to see my work in that area it is being noticed. And yeah, I put the Poe Sisters painting in knowing it really holds the most value for those who understand the reference. Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment

Is that spiderweb a texture? (Lame thing to ask, but it caught my eye, lol)

It's actually a lattice that I made with a picture to create the actual web shape, then a little smoothed out and extended to give it a bit of depth. It's slightly more complicated than it sounds, but it's not really complicated, if that makes sense.

Ah, I see.  Once again, I know it's odd, but it seemed a bit like you photoshopped it in, but at the same time it looked almost too good to be photoshop'd.  Excellent job, as always.
