I've been working on a merman lately... and I need some ideas for a background/backdrop (besides the usual sand/dirt/underwater scene) any creative thoughts (my brain is too tired!)? |

What's wrong with an underwater scene? |

Options: A) A trophy in a castle. You've got a pose, just add a pedestal. B) Still the water, but cresting out of the top of it, maybe? C) FISHBOWL!
There, look those over for a sec. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

thank you for your kind replies. it's not that I don't want to an underwater scene, it's just that I have indeed already tried that and didn't like the way it went. So I have gone back and am now restarting the background and I feel I need to go a drastically different direction or risk falling into the same traps as I did before. and I like the idea of a trophy of some sort, perhaps I'll take that into consideration..... |
