Had no idea this would be what came up when I started. This started with my looking for stock photos of passably attractive faces /without/ heavy makeup, so that I might add what effects I like, myself. After spending hours searching, I chose four photos. This face in this piece was one of them, stock photography credit going to , and here's a link to the photo itself: [link] Seeing as how the best effects I could come up with were of a dark and gothic nature, I decided to go with that. I went seeking landscape photos in the stock section, hoping to find a nice castle (those that I liked were either bad picture quality or just wouldn't blend well), and I settled on an eerie forest shot instead. Couldn't find any good nighttime ones; the stock photo used in this piece for the landscape was actually taken during the day, credit to , and this is the photo I chose: [link]

I encourage you to take a glance at the original stocks, so you may have some idea of how much change occurred during the project.

I always liked those campire stories one would hear about haunted forests, about how a malevolent spirit took charge of certain patches of forest, claiming it as its territory, and would do terrible things to unwelcome wanderers -- if it did not decide it would like to keep them, that is.

Feedback welcome.
