Description The third of my "The Lament Bounds" serie, the other two can be seen in my gallery here:

This one is one of my symbolic pieces. I find it very hard to explain my idea behind it, and I am not sure if I want to either, because I would like to leave room for other interpretations as well. But it definately has a very sad undertone.

It was inspired by "suicide and other comforts" by Cradle of Filth (you can see part of the lyrics on the wall) and Clive Barkers Hellbound Heart/Hellraiser...

The goth is a character I plan to release. I have worked on her face in ZBrush for what seems to be ages but whenever I think, that she is finished, I find new stuff to correct. But her textures are finished already and the shaders behave "good" in the lights I have tested

The light has cost me the last nerve here. Actually there should be a soft light coming from the lamp, I set everything up but instead of "fiat lux" it was still "fiat nox", so I gave up on that and concentrated on the other lights.

Time (for composing and rendering only): around two days
My products used: BitterRain, characters (soon)
Music: Cradle of Filth- Midian

What's she holding? (Both the girl and the goth)

the goth: a dagger, the girl: a lament configuration (a kind of puzzle box that summons demons)

I guess that is a case of negligence of parental fiduciary duty then

Dark, beautifully haunting and complex. It is like shining a light onto the parts of the self, that do not wish to be seen. The Goth character's pose and expression are slightly hesitant yet the child is caught in the glow of curiosity. Both have an idea of what is to come but are frozen in their actions. They are on the brink of something that will change their lives forever. I feel the sadness is not so clear here as it comes from a place that cannot be easily defined by words, making it all the more terrifying. This is a powerful and thought provoking piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.

mmm dark and disturbing from a subject perspective, but absolutely gorgeous scene you've put together. There's something about childhood demons and how they can roll through your life that comes to mind when I view this - perhaps that says more about me than the image though!

Then the picture tells a lot about me too. I think you described what I had in mind very well...
