This one started out with a blue sky, no mountains, and no lake. It changed slowly, and ended up much better than what I thought I was making.

Water always makes a cool, relaxing wallpaper.

The color in the ear was a happy accident. I copied the texture from the rest of the head, and the muzzle color applied itself in a perfect place.

Originally, the pier was a section longer, but the fishing rod was lost in the background.

I've been tweaking this image for a week now, and have come to the conclusion I liked the first version best.

Possibly the reason we never hear of the true sightings, is because the monster sees the witness as well.

A quiet place to let your mind wander through when things get too hectic.

I thought I would be disappointed with the realism, but it came out much better than expected.

When I started this rendering it was almost warm outside. As I worked, the weather grew colder and started to snow. I'm sure that was just a coincidence.
