Crazy Eel's Cave

In which Lorca visits Crazy-the-Eel.
Original Watercolor
Final Painting

I'm a little tired of all these rocks I end up having to paint, but this piece was pretty rewarding.  My favorite thing ever is dramatic lighting, which made for a really fun process.

Crazy's character was inspired by the eels in the dark depths of the ocean that stare straight up all day, waiting for a scrap of food.  It seemed appropriate for a sort of weird-old-hermit character.  Crazy hears secrets of the ocean, and his beard-anglerfish translates his mindless rabble into sound, wise advice.
