IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
This image is set in Nagasaki, Japan. On February 5, 1597,
twenty-six Catholics were crucified there by order of
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the regent; this was the beginning of
the persecution of the Church in Japan. After the martyrs'
bodies were taken down from the crosses, a woman goes out
into a field before the crosses to pray...
These martyrs were declared saints in 1862, and their feast
day is February 6.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The thing in this image I spent the most time on was the
face of the Japanese woman. I based it on the blob model
created by N.B. (winner in the Technical Merit category
in the May-June 1997 competition). I made her clothes and
hair from scratch.
The grass was produced by (I think) Gordon Bentley's
reeds.inc (sorry if I got your name wrong!).
The halo around the sun was produced by an include file
by Samuel Benge. It's simple yet very nice.
The castle at the left was something I made out of boxes
and prisms. It's mainly based on Himeji Castle.
The trees in the background are spheres with a partially
transparent texture, randomly distributed and scaled.
The sky is S_Cloud1 from skies.inc, and I added a fog
to the scene for effect. And that's about it!
