Following on from the previous post I went away and reworked the swamp elder piece.
I addressed the creature by designing a alligator / human. I probably should have pushed this design further but anyway. I put in some light to add some focus. I added some eggs just to give it more narrative. So that's it. That's all I am going to do on this one. Lessons learned, will move on to the next challenge 'Gauntlet'. No doubht will learn a whole lot of lessons there too...
