"Dear child, come with me! I will play wonderful games with you."
-Johann W. von Goethe, Erlkönig

In old poems, love is often the theme. Not the light, playful kind, but the kind that burns.
About closeness that comforts and hurts at the same time.
About eyes that ask more than they answer.
About hands that touch and still leave wounds.
Maybe it is only an image. Or the beginning of something we thought long forgotten.

Getting my PC to finish this render was a small challenge. But well, you grow with the tasks you take on.
And my PC hates me now just a tiny bit more.
-Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven

The image was created using DAZ Studio, DAZ characters, and assets. Lighting and shadows were classically applied during rendering. Post-processing in Photoshop was used for subtle texture enhancement and a delicate aging effect to achieve an oil-on-canvas look. No gore, just quiet eeriness.
