Description
"What is it?"
"No idea."
"Is it alien?
"Preliminary tests show it's from here on Earth."
"Where did it come from?"
"No idea. We might be able to get a better idea when more of the results come in. The area where it was found is being checked for more, but so far, none have been found."
"How can only one of any creature exist?"
"It may be the last of its kind. Or an experiment gone wrong. Or maybe there are more, and we may have a problem."

would make me shiver in fear if i was in this area.
Yeah, I think I'll stay away too. Thanks
Wildly extraordinary character in this spooky, murky environment! Making her eyes glow like this is really the kicker. What a perfect touch that makes such perfect sense. Totally awesome content cocktail you concocted in this creation too. The ideal recipe for this character right there. And I'll tell ya' this. I'm glad I got rid of that pond. God forbid there should be flooded tunnels and caves leading from here to our place. LOL! Super cool stuff, Phantom!
Thanks. This was a tricky one to do. It took me a while to figure out how to make the murky water look right. Postwork is your friend. And I learned that the latest version of PaintShop Pro recognizes pressure sensitivity with my drawing tablet. The last version I had didn't.
Oh Creepy. Excellent.
thanks so much
Well you did great, buddy. I have only ever used Gimp for my text inserts and T-shirt graphics and stuff. Simple stuff. Glad I can do that much. LOL.
It occurs to me that so much had to come together here to make this scene as effective as you made it. I think the squiggly things are the defining element. They provide an illusion of underwater movement and the backlighting is just gorgeous. And I think seeing the lights makes the scene even better than just having the light. You really had a vision here. And totally nailed it.
I started just making simple edits and kept pushing myself to learn more, one step at a time. I've forgotten some of the stuff I used to do.
The squiggles are what I added in post-work. I just kept adding and adjusting things until it looked right. I tried several things that didn't work at all. It was a lot of trial and error. I'm glad it turned out as well as it did. Thanks
