      @Tyler-Koh Looks pretty cool so far, the top of the kraken coming out of the water looks abit weird though. If its coming up from bellow the surface I don't think you'll get water splashing away from the body at 45 degree angles. I would maybe check out pictures or videos of a whale tail or submarine breaching the surface of the water. I think you'll get more of a wave or ripple effect moving away from the body rather than a big splash.

            I think you have some amazing insight from previous commentors but I wanted to add that I really like this concept. It's fun! You've done a good job of exaggerating how large the giant sea creature is compared to the boat! I like that.

                Thank you! Yep, I was trying to make the creature look bigger by adding the put there as a scale like you said.

                  The fishing line lines are beautiful, especially with the similarities and contrast to the monster. It kind of makes me think that if the monster had never seen a fishing boat before, it might see the boat with the scary hooks like it's own idea of a sea monster. Lol

                    Like this? Or maybe this?thumbnail2.png

                    The wrapping around the boat concept is kinda hard to pull off with my lack of skills rn, so I just added a tentacle approaching the boat

                      @Tyler-Koh really like the first one! If you want to heighten the tension, try moving the kraken’s mantle a little closer to the boat and see if that makes a difference.

                      Looking really good! Excited to see how this turns out!

                        @Melissa-Bailey-0 toafail.jpg The perspective made the foreground tentacles look weird and POV was kinda hard to imagine so I came up with an underwater piece
