Description Yes, i'm still alive!!!

This is supposed to be a giant squid, which are rather mysterious creatures. I wanted to just draw the profiles, make the pic a little more dramatic...and less time consuming. I have always been fascinated by these suckers, did reports and everything on them in school In fact, one of the largest specimens ever found washed up on the shores close to my house! Yay!

This is dedicated to who loves calamari as well. Happy birthday! Thanks for being a wonderful friend!

Aaron, the atmospheric perspective is gorgious. And the sillohettes jsut look gorgious. But I gotta wonder..are we looking up, or what?

Yes, kinda looking up Well the beauty about underwater pics is that you can use all kinds of crazy angles! I know that perhaps mine here isn't the most realistic, but ummmm...well...got you thinking!

Yeah! I love squid too!! They taste great when BBQed!

It's just interesting that a live colossal squid has yet to be seen alive....but I wonder if they'd be happy they found it or terrified that it's eating their ship...

But this pic is really cool!! I thought it was a photo at first glance!

Well that is a compliment! I used several references to try and get it somewhat realistic, like the colors and shapes and stuff. I'm glad you kinda feel like a diver, that is the intended effect
