but who's afraid of who..?


i feel like this would be more effective if i made a heavier fade into dark, so you really have to squint to see what's there, but ah well. as i say in the speedpaint, fearful doesn't necessarily mean scary :3

I like this concept of the undersea abomination thing with the mermaid-shaped lure. That's really cool, and I think you may have just given me an idea based on a similar thing.

Honestly, in my case, having to scroll down to see what's there and fully process it is a decent replacement for having to squint. The gradient in the brightness of the water and the other lighting effects are also really beautiful.

ooh excellent i'm glad it still packs that punch in the end! since i'm cross-posting over a few platforms, it's hard to remember how the composition itself can lend to the ambience cos it's not equal across those platforms. i definitely tried to at least have a "click for a surprise" element to it with how i cropped the thumbnail, but knowing the scroll down helps in that does make me feel better!

also who knows, maybe they're equally threatening to each other--when you think about it, that hook is pretty large ',:3c
