This week, we’re underground in the Wild West with another spooky monster encounter! The explorer has descended into a large cavern and is contemplating wandering deeper in. Hopefully he reconsiders.

    I have an idea for a diorama, a small mountain road with people walking on, further up, a rockslide is tumbling towards them and a large creature caused the rock slide.

    Even without the obligatory, Wild Imaginary West monster; this is one of the best cave dioramas (shadowbox?) that I have ever seen! The fact that the monster isn't immediately apparent makes this a well-executed "Delayed-Reaction Piece," that takes viewers a moment or two to realize that there is more to this excellent spelunking diorama than meets the eye. Looking forward to your next diorama!

    I like to think that, Like other Octopi, the one on the pool is actually reasonably friendly. It's perhaps curious, but not actively hostile. Unlike the other giant monsters of the W.I.W, the Octopi are just as intelligent as their smaller cousins, and capable of emotional maturity. I think the cave dweller here is mostly just curious about this strange man and his portable light, and might even throw some rocks up onto the shore to see if it can engage in a passing exercise with this strange, not very well camouflaged creature.

    Maybe it's even smarter then that of the regular octopi, with it's bigger body, obvious access to more food (if it has been able to surstain itself in a mostly closed cave system) and it's longer more dextrous tentacles, Maybe it's actualy as smart as that do-do like bird in the circus diarama (around the level of a perticularly smart dog), or even smarter like the Tulkun on A:TWOW, i mean if a whale can learn to say "Get Out" while in an aquareium, i bet you any money a simmilarly sized Cephalopod could do the same

Also, the mirrored reflection on the surface of the still lake water is beautiful. This is so inspiring. p.s. I saw a movie with Leo!! He was attacked by a bear and crawled like a billion miles back to camp while being attacked by ants, ravens, and other assorted biting insects. It's a pretty depressing film, but he made it... barely (pun intended). You would think that Leo would have learned his lesson and just retired, but apparently he's exploring dangerous caves now. Sigh. Some people. Insanely cool work!
