A Halloween or two ago, I made this bleak, barren, kind of creepy scene,
but I was never able to decide what or who I wanted to populate it with.
Dead trees? A ruined temple? Evil towers? Or perhaps a long fence at the
edge of the water, with a great iron gate guarded by giant
Egyptian-style statues?

So I pulled it out again the other day, and looked at it, and at long
last I knew what it needed: a huge Lovecraftian horror crawling out of
the water!

Two images attached: one is the old scene (which has been altered
somewhat from the old version I posted here long ago), and the other is
the arm (made of blobs) that I plan to have reaching out of the water
onto the shore. Next up, I need to make some tentacles.. guh.

I'd work a bit on making the sand look smoother..
The arm looks scary! :)

If by "smoother" you're referring to the obvious triangles in the
foreground, they're there because I'm rendering the height field with
low resolution and smoothing off to speed it up. A final render would
use better settings.

That's what I meant, and I can tell you've got that covered :)
Great blob skills!
