The Swampmaid

She appears out of the muck and drags her prey to a watery grave. My wife came up with the concept for this one. Thanks, Honey!

The Picnic Spot

Well, better late than never! Here's Swamp Critter #1. Alligators are like sharks...scary.

Playin' Possum

Swamp Boat Critter

Time is short this week. As I type I'm packing to go to Siggraph. Please accept this work in progress. This is also notice that I'll probably be M.I.A. next week. So you can't pick a fun topic.

(that's Missing in Action, not Mutual Improvement Association)

I've always wanted to ride one of those swamp boats.

Sea Turtle in the Murk

I know, I know, "It's a SEA turtle" you're all thinking...

Well, he wandered into an estuary and eventually wound up in the swamp.

There's a big crocodile with his jaws wide open down in the lower-left corner, just off-frame.

Well, I got it kinda done

I'll finish it this weekend

Possum

I posted this on my blog a couple weeks ago, but it was appropriate for this week so here it is

Boa Constrictor

The powerfully strong & affectionate Boa Constrictor.

Gators

Here is mine, no I didn't have any gators with flowers in thier hats in my home this week, but I was stuck on gators.

A stretch, but with good reason.

This is a VOLE. Common to both field and wetland... and, unfortunately, my house. My wife saw him two weeks ago (a whole other story) and I laid sticky traps. Two weeks, and nothin'. Then, last night, as I was on the phone I checked the pantry for a snack and-

AAAAAHHH!!!!!!

So here is what I saw. Only his face was stuck to the trap and- well, maybe I'll tell the whole story on my own blog. Enjoy!

The Swamp Thing

I don't know what this is supposed to be, but hopefully it can be classified as a swamp critter, because that's what I was going for.
