(1 year and 78 days ago)Photoshop Tutorial: Create a Creepy Dark Gargoyle Road
They say it is dangerous to walk Gargoyle Road when the moon is full; that if the Gargoyle lamps glow red then danger is near. They say the Gargoyles can sense the hunger for blood and it is that prescience that turns the lamps red. They don't say who is hungry. Beware!
