IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The image is of a sea serpent, he could be the Loch Ness Monster as the area
that he is in looks more like a misty loch or a lake (loch serpent, Lake
serpent). He does not have teeth because he only eats fish.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The sea serpent was created entirely in Spatch, i then exported it into moray.
All the serpents textures are image maps that i made in photoshop. The main
scales texture was a basic black and white snakeskin pattern i had on my
harddrive which i edited. I made it tile together with KPT's seamless
welder,changed its colour and blurred it because it was very blocky.i also used
photoshop to mould the scales texture around the head. The other textures of
all the spines i made from scratch. The mountains are just height fields and
the water is just a default water texture from moray. I didnt include the
source file because its 1.5 megs, and with the image maps it was close to 10
megs.
