This is why I don’t go swimming.
And the ending to the dark waters story arc. The lesson is: sea monsters are scary.
I mean, how would you fight creatures underwater? Swords don’t cut that well if you’re fighting in water, and you’d need missiles and a submarine to chase those things. Me? I’d rather stay on land where I can run away.
The sea doesn’t belong just to monsters!
You can’t draw monsters without doing something with them. I personally sometimes despair that I can’t make things as scary as they are to me.
But anyways: the green thing on the left is a creature of many eyes, your average nightmare. The oozing things on the bottom are The Hungry, which gather and feed on the unwary.
Fun stuff.
What lurks in the depths? What monsters hide?
I don’t like the deep ocean. It’s not a fun place to be. If you’ve ever swum out for shore and looked down, you know what I’m talking about. Who knows what lurks in the abyssal waters? Nightmares, I’m certain.
Sorta pointless, but I appreciate the effort.
Actually, sea water is really bad for washing so I can understand why Pirate would want a separate bath. But really, it seems sort of redundant.
…I’m really having trouble finding a reason for drawing this picture here. Sleep deprivation does weird things. I guess the moral of this story is…don’t drop your soap? Wash often?
Something like that.
And once again, cardboard boxes save the day! I wonder if you really could float across the sea in a cardboard box. I hope I never have to find out.
Airplanes? Who needs ’em?
Another mythological monster I don’t think exists in real world. Personally, I never liked sock puppets, and being chased by this one would not be fun. It also sort of looks like Barney, and I never liked Barney.
They come from closets and from underneath beds…
Here’s a word for the day: colossus. It means big things. I remember reading about the legendary bronze statue that protected the city of Crete from invaders in Greek legend. How does Pirate play into this? I imagine she’d be great at giving directions to lost stick-sailors.
Even better than a lighthouse!
