As much as this gives me the creeps...Great imagination and execution..good luck

Oops, forgot to turn on the layer with the light beam; will fix it as soon as I can

...fixed

Nice!

Brilliant, I love it.

Wouldn't surprise me if they actually found something like this. I really like that you chose to do a sea creature. The blurring of the tail for depth is a great touch.

Amazing creature... I mean... work!!! Very realistic!

Charming deep water beast!

The creature is very well made. High scores from me author. Good luck

Congrats!!

Thank you all

Congrats, Katka!

Looks stunning, i think the creature looks rather cute. The lower part seems to lack some detail compared to the mid-top parts. Amazing lighting as usual :P

Love the face..pretty sharp!..and beautiful mood.

my fav too..by the way

brilliant, very artistic, good luck author

Oh, very cute little creature!
Very well done. I love the colour pallet you used.

wonderful work

love it

SO PURDY!

Thanks everyone!!!

aweseome effect : its such a cute creature

Thanks you!!! Funny how you can take pieces of a totally NOT cute animal and make it sorta cute
and
@Akassa, there is definitely more detail towards the top. Partially because that is where I want your eye to go, and partially because it got really late last night and I knew I wouldn't have much more time to work on it, so I called it done

Thanks nator!! Took LOTS of painting to get the light to look like this

That is a great work....love the creature. Great imagination! Good luck author.

Thanks!
@marina08

Your dragon has some nice work, but what I really like is how you integrated it into the background sources - nice lighting effects.
