Creating my own Monster aka Art Contest Week 155 Submission - Fan Art by @gcollets
I've been thinking for so long!
Is there a monster that is so close to my heart I could redraw, recreate, re-dream? Definitely, there are some. Let's start with Byzant Kitty, I mean, c'mon, it's a CAT! I have several visions of her flying her fluffy little body towards the moon, or eating her well-deserved dinner after a hard day full of winning battles. But hey, I won't shoot all my ammo at once, right?
So I came up with something else...
Because it's always fun to create something new. I mean, if you try to imagine what kind of beasts can live in the Splinterlands universe, there are endless possibilities.
I decided I will start to discover the deep dark oceans of Azmaré. And acually I found something down there.
Chapter 1: Discovering the waters of Crystalline Harbour
Dear Cousine,
It was only two weeks ago since I left the safety of Shimmer City, but I already have some explorations to share with you.
Yesterday I went to discover the sea creatures of the Crystalline Harbour. I didn't have to dive that deep as I thought I'll have to. It was still quite near to the surface I guess, but it's not hard to loose your senses when going underwater.
I was looking for something new, something frightful, something that is hungry for nwcomers and eats up everything that crosses it's way. A true beast of the ocean.
So I headed towards to the deep darkness. Until...
Until I saw a tiny spark of light. Is it the eye of the monster? Is it the guardian of god Azmaré's treasures? I've heard tales of the endless richness of the underworld. I've heard tales of the beasts keeping out intruders like me.
The tiny spark started to grow, and finally I could see
that it wasn't anything scary. Oh my god, what are you, lil' guy?
He kept swimming towards me, and once he reached me, he was just floating, turning his huge, baby-like head from one side to the other, like he was trying to figure out who am I and what am I doing there. Am I harmful?
His huge, sparkling eyes kept investigating me, but I could feel he is not looking at me, he was looking inside me.
We were staring at eachother for one or two minutes, then suddenly...
He left me there with my questions and swam away like a shot.
I think he knew I didn't wanted to harm him. I was no danger. So he didn't care about me anymore.
It happened all so fast, but I wont forget that mysterious thing as far as I live.
What could it be? Where it came from? What was that srange feeling in my guts, when he looked at me wth his huge crystal-like eyes? That feeling of another entity being in my head, reading my thoughts, even my emotions.
I drew a picture of him, maybe you'll know what it is, or where to look for it.
I attach the pictures to my letter, please make sure no one else can access them until we find out what it is You know what poachers are like, and even though the beast seemed to be friendly, we don't know what he is capable of.
Ps.: Since then I have strange dreams of turning into a sea creature. I don't know if it has anything to do with the beast, but may you find it helpful by the further exploration.
