Hey everyone, I thought I might give this challenge a shot. The guidelines made it sound like it should be kind of a scary scene. My worst fear is deep, dark water. I hate looking down on dark water and seeing those dark shapes, not knowing what is down there. It freaks me out. So I decided to attempt to make a scene sort of like that. Maybe have a glassy lake in the moonlight, with an old dock in there. I also would like to have a thin layer of fog over the lake, but not too much, because I want to be able to see the water. I haven't started on this at all, so I don't have any pictures or anything. Feel free to give suggestions, thoughts, ideas, anything. Thanks, and good luck to everyone!

I thought of another idea, let me know what you think of this one.
I would have a close up of a leaf sitting on water, a ripple coming out around it, and the leaf is on fire. I don't know how I came up with it, just thought it might look cool. The only thing is, I don't know if that would get me good lighting points.

Here's a ripple I did in case I decide to do my second idea. I'm still going back and forth between the two. I'm starting to think that the first idea would give me a lot more opportunity for lighting, I was maybe thinking about having fireflies over the lake. Let me know what you think.

in order to use the [ img] tag, you'd need to have the image on the internet. It won't link directly from your computer.

Or, of course, you can attach it to your thread, as you did.

Looking sehr gut with the ripple. :attn:, but I don't know how you could really incorparate great lighting, but then again I am terrible at lighting and know nothing about it so, I have no idea. It looks really good so far and I like your ideas.
