"...And as I casually glanced across the room, into the looking-glass...Terror had taken me, as I saw the dreaded creature had cast no reflection..."

This is an adaptation of a concoction that was previously deleted by the Caedes mods for some bad content in the song that went with it, so I re-worked it...Another Halloween-inspired composition...This time, featuring the shadow of the "Maya" character...looking into the mirror...

This post is in recognition of the FIRST of the "Big Three Horror Legends"...and also of the genius of Abraham "Bram" Stoker, the ninteenth century Irish author that gave this guy...a much different "appearance" in Stoker's 1897 Gothic horror novel, "Dracula"...Most of us know the book, and have seen many different versions of "Ol' Drac" in film...but what really caught my attention after looking at the bio a second time was not Stoker's evil creation...but the craziness that surrounded HIS OWN life...Yiii... ...I don't consider myself exactly sound minded (51 cards shy of a full deck)...But Stoker's life was absolutely bananas...SHEESH!

Really nice work on the lighting aspect, Ron.

A fine and polished image.

As simplistic as it may look upon first glance ... quite sosphisticated with the various elements contained within frame. (I.e. the mirror, the typeface used, the relief on the wall, et al.)

And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Nevertheless you stole my title: Mirror, mirror.
HOWGH
Consider this as a challenge - we must agree style, mode and manner but this is all minor !
LOL
Challenger I am.

Did you know the Abbey at Whitby was his inspiration for his novel!...

This is about an hours drive away for me! .. so an easy visit from the 'residents'?

Written in fresh blood with a trembling hand and with an ominous shadow falling on it! Good work Ron but make it 50 cards will you? Don't overestimate yourself - LOL!

I LOVE that font, and the plaster crack! Is it a mirror or a white board? I know creating mirror reflections in photoshop is NOT easy, but check out one of my fave, inspirational artists in Photoshop for some ideas. Bert Monroy.

I adore your stuff Ron... keep it coming!

I think your deck still contains the Jokers Yogi. :) Really some good information in this one and like the written in blood look of the sign.
