Church Illustration Art Painting Picuture Subject description: Front Cover
At last I got my old school friend to take a picture of his art work of the church, on October 2011 he saw a preview of my map dm_nightmare_church".
My map inspired him to make a painting that includes many visual features the map has.
E.G. body in bush, blood water fountain, clock tower, owl in tree, evil doll, and some building design features my church has and more!
This artist has also done concept art for me in the past for my maps called "dm_lost_base_bcc_final and dm_unreal_factory_hd_b1".
This is the first map Illustration art work i've got from him and i'm very impressed.
I've added the image in attachment for others to download and zoom in to see the small details.
Taken with 14 megapixel camera for details to be seen.

My friend wanted this to be a loading screen when you join any server, so you have something to look at when downloading server files etc
