This piece was made for the 'Spooky Tales' Challenge over at Manip-Equips:

The idea to this piece simply popped into my mind when seeing the image of the cat and so I tried to capture the idea of Stephen Kings's Pet Cementery. In the book (or movie) a family moves to a new area near to a Pet cemetery. When their cat dies a neighbour shows them the way to an indian graveyard, which lays behind the actual pet cemetery. The family buries the cat in that place. And the next day the cat is back, very much alive...

This piece is my baby. More than 12 hours of work (plus some pauses to get a breath in here or there) went into it, from 10:00 am in the morning to 11:30 pm in the night. But I simply had to do it in one goe.
