SciFi and Fantasy Art Cray Huntsman -Colored- by Nicholas William Kole

Colored in Photoshop. When reworking this character and coloring the picture for my exhibit, I tried to capture something of the mood of this first scene from Mieville's 'The Scar'. This exerpt should give you an idea of what I'm talking about: 'The cray raises his arm and calls his squid closer to him, soothes it gently. He fingers his harpoon. He is standing on a granite ridge, where seaweed and ferns move against him, caressing his long underbelly. To his right, swells of porous stone rise above him. To the left the slope falls away fast into disphotic water. He can feel the chill emanating from below. He looks out into a steep gradation of blue. Way overhead, on the surface, there are ripples of light. Below him the rays peter swiftly out. He stands only a little way above the border of perpetual dark.' - China Mieville, 'The Scar'
