| | Inspiration
I tried to recreate the desk in the film Evil Dead, which is a film about some college kids in a cabin in the woods that unleash evil spirits that possess the living. The only differences from my scene and the one in the film is that I left out the object of the tape recorder that the kids play which has recordings of the demon resurrection passages from the Book of the Dead because of time constraints.

| | Problems and Solutions
The skull on the dagger’s handle is organic, so I pained over that for a while, as was the dead human skin that bounds the Book of the Dead. Texturing was time consuming because I had to learn how to use Bump, Alpha, and Clip maps.
