Artist's Comments

While taking the SATs last Saturday, a series of questions all involved that I read a story about an Antartic lake discovered in 2000, that has been around for millions of years, and how life that might of very well adpated to the conditions there in and how that can be applied to life on Europa (which as some of you may know is a concept I find fascinating, and believe as shown in this picture [link])

Anyways, I came up with several stories that deal with that lake (I really should concentrate on the freakin test, but my mind wanders, oh well I feel I did better this time). One of which was a that of a kaiju. These are just some sketches of him. Full bio in eventual picture of him.
Other ideas I got for Lake Vostok:

1. An exploration team for the lake meets up with pack of voracious creatures.

2. The lake over time has turned into one large cell due to all the life within it merging into one. This sentient being needs protection from those that would exploit it. Not my fav of the ideas, but its something.

3. Prehistoric Virus mutates team of researchers.

4. Life in the lake is used to seed life on Europa.

5. Same as 4, but this really pisses something off!

Well, the idea was something more akin to an "artic Destroyah".

The idea sorta stemmed from an "artic Destroyah" in fact.

sounds like a concept for that horror movie "The Thing", at least that's what comes to my mind when I hear about creatures in Antarctica.

yeah, you're probably right. I don't watch horror movies. xD but your observations on Europa were interesting.
