August Challenge - TGG - Normal

Hello Guys,

sat on the fence about this for the past 1-2 weeks - its almost at the end of the cycle for this challenge and there's already tonnes of awesome stuff that has been done by some of the challengers. I'm not great at this but I reckon I should be in the normal category.

Okay. MAD SCIENTIST LAB. My scientist is really mad in the THIRTEEN GHOSTS/HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL VEIN. Expect grimy enviroments, blood and more blood (I have to figure out how to texture it ... ) I have some ideas so I might post a sketch later today or tomorrow. I like to do last minute burst works too.

Well, that's that from me for now. LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN. user added image

Yes, the challenge ends in six days. Erg. You must hurry. We do one every month, so next month start early.

It's great to have you here at Simply Maya GreenGiant.
