“I created this image for the CGArena Haunted challenge and won the second prize. Knowing in advance the theme of the image, I tried to think of what other participants would choose (haunted houses, ghostly encounters, cemeteries…) and tried to go in as different a direction as I could. I vaguely knew my image would contain ruined stone, rusty metal, and water, and elaborating on that is how the idea of a railroad disaster came to be.”
