something a little different... the title is a reference to ancient mariner's maps which were often marked thusly in areas known for high levels of ship disappearances, the loss attributed to monsters.Credits:

Now the water looks better, I think 
One thing about the monster - it looks dry. Why? I can't see any reflections of the water on it's body. If You could make it's skin more shiny.. [read: add reflections to the monster's material]

yes, I thought of trying to make the monster seem wet, but I didn't think of making it more shiny, I was thinking more along the lines of adding droplets of water falling from it... which would have been an extremely tedious job.
the water looks ok, but I didn't use any mountains to make the appearance of waves, its just a fairly standard flat bryce water material (I did adjust some of the reflection and color qualities of it)
thanks for the comment and the advice, I will keep that idea in mind next time

Oh my....
the colors of the sky/water makes it feel very early morning.
The only thing I find a little less than perfect is that bit of fire (I think) it's very yellow.
Other than that, this is wonderful. You did a great job with this.

thanks, and yes, it was supposed to be fire... a signal fire I guess for the fellow who survived the wreck...
bryce doesn't have much selection for fire materials, and that one didn't look too relaistic once I put it in, its a bit too far from the camera to see the red parts...

hey, it still looks great, as far as I'm concerned...

I love the water!! and that monster looks like a very promising destroyer.. although.. I'm not sure what is that yellow spot behind the serpent's neck, it seems a bit off the picture. but great job nontheless!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks, and for the fav too
the yellow spot is supposed to be a signal fire or perhaps cooking fire for the tiny figure of a man who evidently survived the shipwreck... but the Bryce flame material didn't really look very realistic especially so far away from the camera.

I see... I thought that was supposed to be a fire of some sort, but I was not sure so I asked

Water looks better, still a BIIIIIT too reflective. take it down one or two notches... or whatever it is you do. But getting better!

well, that water is just the standard bryce preset of (I think its called) "slight foam" or something, I didn't put any mountain-waves in it, so the surface is really just flat...
I did turn down the reflection a little, but I didn't want to go much more because I liked the reflection of the sea serpent, and it would also have made everything darker...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah. it looks good, don't get me wrong, i guess i'm just used to water being that mirror-coated
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no problem, I thought it might be a little too reflective myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Nah....
That water is not too reflective,
It's just very clean.
I just had me a cup.
