The Story:

The young squire was so sure that her Master would triumph over evil. But when she saw her Master in the hand of a Giant, beaten, bloodless... lifeless, she drew her short iron sword out and raised her shield. The pale faced Squire did so not out of duty and vengeance, but more so bec her body was trained to respond thus. Her hand and legs trembled as she gazed at her Master's lifeless body being lifted toward the mouth of the Giant. It was quite possible that her Master might be swallowed whole. It was indeed a frightening thought. But that was not all. Her path forward was blocked by a powerful Witch that was sanctioned by the King to have been beheaded. Behind her, she had Skeleton summons brought forth by the Witch. Truly... a nightmare indeed.

The Process:

Well, I did separate render on the same background but working independantly on each of these characters. The most challenging were the two skeletons that I had a lot more postwork involved in photoshop. It also helped to put a bitof personal lighting on them individually to get the best out of them.

Hope you all like my work.
