Description

High up a baleful hill stands the house of Snowfall Frost, the Unicorn protagonist of A Hearth’s Warming Tail. Although she came to embrace the holiday after moons of resenting it, her dark abode was soon abandoned. It is said that after she moved into a new home, her original one was never acquired by anypony else. Then one night, as time wore away on this house, it mysteriously disappeared. Some say Snowfall, Princess Celestia, or Unicorns involved in urban housing and development used magic to relocate it on top of a lone hill. The most popular story is that ghosts and other undead spirits took up residence in Snowfall’s former abode. Nopony really knows what happened to it or why or how it was relocated, but one thing is certain, nopony ever dares to enter that spooky old house. As soon as Luna’s night falls, there’s reasons to be fearful of it seem to be true. As lightning breaks through the sky, strange sounds eminate from within the walls, and it’s said that eerie green lights are seen in the windows where Snowfall made potions and cast spells. And even if it rained, an unnatural fog would roll in and choke the hilltop. Ironically, Snowfall Frost was visited by three spirits of Hearth’s Warming, but her former home would become the permanent abode for ghosts of all sort, creating a perpetual Nightmare Night at this spooky place…
Here’s something I really wanted to work on. I wanted to make a vector of Snowfall’s house without the snow. It’s such a cool, spooky house. I will explain more in later projects. The fog was my biggest struggle. I eventually figured out one method. Make a vector of a cloud, feather it to give it that misty look, and lower the opacity. I planned on uploading this sooner, but everything going on in life slowed it down.

I hope you all enjoy this, and get ready for the spookiest time of year everybrony!
UPDATE: I changed the opacity for the mist from 30% to 40%.

I think I like the opacity limit 30% on the mist (this one) best, but that’s just me :)
Edit: Though to contribute to the difficulty of deciding, one of my parental units claims they like the 40% better.
Edit2: Ah, but the other parental unit claims they like the 30% best!
(Surely three people is a sufficient sample size to be statistically significant /s ;)
