Nocturne Cemetery
So onwards with the Night time experiment!
Welcome to Nocturne Cemetery - in the land of perpetual night, where all food is imported from outside this cursed district. When its time to go, the villagers of Nocturne give you a nice place to rest.
Still you can expect ghosts, grave robbers, and the occasional ghoul at this final resting place.
Is this too dark?

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Looks great! The only nitpick I can find is the fence seems to have perspective, but the rest of the scene is top down. It could just be the shadow fooling me though.
Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

RP, the fence is top down, what you are looking at is the shadow cast by the wrought iron fence on the ground - notice that the shadow follow the cast direction of other shadows in the map. That was one effect I was going for, since I am creating directional shadows in this map, versus top down halo shadows.
Note the straight lined object between the stone fence posts - that's the actual fence.

That's what I thought.
Here's another nitpick, discovered the shadows don't seem to be coming from the same light source. I drew red lines over the edges of the shadow casts.

Yeah, I need to tighten that up.
Yeah, I need to tighten them up. 3 different shadows were applied separately. The drop shadows off the trees were created first. The shadows of the wrought iron fence and post came second. I created the shadows off the tombstones in 3D and tried to similate the same direction for light.
But you're right its off a bit. Since my 3D shadows are more difficult to fix - I would have to rerender with a new light source, I will realign the drop shadows in the same direction as the tombstones.
Because these were created in separate applications - as 3 separate thoughts I ought to focus in one direction for light.
Good eye, RP!

No problem. Like I said, it was a total nitpick. I think overall it is a great image.
