This is essentially a death scene ... but still ...

... this place is teeming with life, many creatures are crawling and floating around the carcass of some large, partially translucent animal.

Tentacles are coming out of the soft, jelly - like soil covered with layer of gentle foam. Is unknown, for now, what they are. Maybe just part of some giant underground creature ... maybe some life form that can be compared to molds and fungi in the Earth's ecosystem, but much bigger ... or maybe, these are smaller, separate scavengers similar to lampreys.

All this is happening in the dense atmosphere in the low gravity conditions. Not exactly like in an underwater habitat ... but it has some similarities.

Floating is the easiest and most effective way to move around ... and translucency is a great way to camouflage in this vast foggy expanses always lit by the distant sun.

This living planet shelters life only on this sunny side caught in an eternal day. The dark side is a completely different world.

There is a lot to discover here ... this is only a peek through the key hole.

And now ... before the end, a little explanation ... this patchwork of Science Fiction obsessions and ideas are a multidisciplinary mix of hand drawing, hand painting, photography and the final merging of the three in photoshop... all made by me ... THE END
