Not bad, the lightning is well done but the everything else you added looks burned and not blended that well.
Nice concept and effects. KIU!

You've done a good job of darknening it, but what are the black splotches on the floor supposed to be? The castle seems a little too dark, and you've used too much lightning / lightning which is too similar so looks tiled. Remember, less is sometimes more - perhaps just one lightning bolt hitting the house would be better?

I agree with lustre on this 1 use 1 lightning flash as light fx falling on the castle and on the top of the wall keep it up m8

Thank you Newyork.

 

@ Lustre, looking back at this one, i actually agree with the lighning, ill fix it up tomorrow. also the black spots on the floor are meant to be shadows for the cockroaches, if they arent there it looks quite unrealistic.

 

@ clob, thank you also. ill fix it in the morning.

It's very dark, but it's pretty nice. One of the best 'Hauted Castle' manips i've ever seen, good job.

Seems way too dark and the burning is messed up in some places. And there's too much lightning. Overall good job though. Kiu!

There are too many lightning strikes, and I can't tell if the black splotches on the ground are footprints or what. But I do like it.
