The potion bottle sank unhindered for a long time, passing the point where sunlight can no longer penetrate the water. Even through the thickened glass, it was possible to see a very faint glow coming from the contents. It was this that attracted the young kraken. After examining the bottle for a time, she managed to work the stopper loose, releasing the strange substance. Sadly for the kraken, it turned out not to be food after all.

This picture is another first for me, as it was entirely computer painted, with no use of scanned sketches. It took awhile to get used to drawing with a mouse, but I finished it finally. [2004 - Corel Photopaint]

This is really well-done! I love the light effects on the Kracken and the bubbles drifting up from the potion bottle...a lovely, mystical feel of the deep, dark ocean. Reminds me of that movie "Abyss".

Love the shading on the blue, looks velvety and touchable. Beautiful graceful image.
