IMAGE DESCRIPTION:On this vulcanic world, the creatures propagate by 
   throwing their metallic spheres as far as they can.  The spheres
   then let loose small crawling face-like larvae which melt into
   the ground and sprout new tentacled life-forms.  The creatures live
   on the sulphur in the atmosphere and may catch and eat any other
  life-forms, using their image to mold their crawling larvae.  
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:I used 4elements Earth tool
 to create a landscape and to create the mask like larvae.  I used
 a photograph of my daughter as the basic grey-scale image map.  She
 doesn't look anything like the final mask.  I used the free-form
 modeler to create the tentacles which I combined together with one of
 the masks to make the main creature.  I added 3 fog forms between the
 foreground rocks and the background mountains.  I also added a red
 halo around the sun source in 4elements Wind.  I also added a blue
 light source to give the blue more intensity and affect the red clouds.
