Very creative in use of source image. GL

nice work

really pretty work. lovely light and shadow works. i love the idea of the low sky and clouds.

I tried hard with the shadows, still think it's not perfect but i'm glad you guys find it normal. Thanks!

Amazing highlights and great whitening of the main subject! Very detailed. Also the shadows seems perfect. I'm not an expert but I can recognize a well done job! good luck Author

Congratulations!

Congrats!!

Some of the water splashes look like paint splatters, and are obviously premade brushes. Otherwise this is a great entry! GL author.

that's a lot of spittle good luck!!!

Nice use of sources to make the creature and lovely atmosphere. A water brush would have been more efficient for the creation of the splashes, but it looks nice. Wish you luck!

Great classic sea monster and strong dramatic lighting!
