December entry: Crossroads

Postby westli » Mon Dec 21, 2015 5:40 am

There's a legend that bluesman Robert Johnson made a pact with the devil at a lonely crossroads in Rosedale, Mississippi. (Clarksdale is the more-often mentioned location, but Rosedale is more likely for several reasons.) After the meeting he became one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the blues ever. His work was the foundation of blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock. Not long after, he was poisened by a jealous husband and the devil got his soul.

Note that I have never met the devil personally, although I may have worked with one of his spawn while in the military. My depiction of the devil is pure speculation.

I used Makehuman, Blender, Gimp, and Sapling tree generator, a couple of ground textures from cgtextures, and Photoshop to adjust the levels.

The forest of willow trees is pretty cool, is that a mist effect I see?

Thanks for looking, guys.

Yep. Standard Blender mist with fairly high start and depth settings to keep it in the background.
