The Break In

Looks like something is trying break in to the keep.  Lucky our warrior has a few swords with rare magic to stop the beast.

I did a blurry effect to see how it may help give the sense of motion.   I did save a "pre-blurry" version without that.  I got some great feedback and tips on the IFX forums and may open the pre-blurry version; and work on the lighting and shadows more.  So a version 2 could be posted soon.

Ok .. I did not save the non-blurry version.  Oh well I did re-look at my lighting and  shadows and did some touch ups.  Here is a ver 2:

The addition shadows do make the swords magic auras really pop.  Cool!

With some advice from the folks at the IFX forums did little change to the light from the swords.
