After many days of tracking and fighting, the hunting party finally overtook their prey into the swamp and managed to immobilise the beast and then kill it; the tribe will feast for days on this monster!

Unfortunately the death cry of the monster has attracted all kinds of predators looking for their next, easy meal.

A bit of a change for me, using people stock images, they’re much harder to work with in terms of colouring.

The outcome is OK but not grand in my book, seeing that I’ve only being doing this photo manipulation thing for about 3 months I’m uploading it but will likely revisit in the future.

This manipulation is going down in history as the hardest one to date, I have changed my mind so many times I’ve lost count; the underlying idea comes from Dark Encounters, seeing those wonderful Woad images by *Chonastock (I am so going to do more with those) and of =markopolio-stock’s monthly contests.

:hug: thank you very, very much my friend, I'm really glad you like it; I'm always very apprehensive of uploading these, they take way to much time to do.

Hunting for these images continued right up to the end, finished it, framed it and then went back to change it :D
