The Water Monkey is a mythical creature in Chinese folklore. In stories, it is an animal that lives underwater in one of the many lakes of China. The Water Monkey reportedly likes to drag people under the water, sometimes resulting in a drowning death. The tale of the Water Monkey is used by adults to keep children from playing in the water.

When I saw Monkey. I knew I knew I had to do this one. Especially since it was a 'Water' Monkey. So the basics came to mind and thought for more realism, keep it as real as possible. So I kept everything underwater. Found the monkey that looked evilish. Great underground city stock. Also used a 'Splash' image of water which i blended and wrapped around the monkey to give it some type of depth.

A while back on good-tutorials.com I saw a tutorial on which to turn people into water. Obviously it works on monkeys too, go figure lol. Link provided to tutorial as well below. Great tutorial. Must say I did go off and do my own thing on a few of the steps and skipped some of theirs. But without their idea of 'plastic wrap', one filter I used a lot way back in the day. But forgot about it. Hope everyone likes

-NOTE-
I did find several mythical creatures on the wiki page that were identical to many others. Basically there were many duplicates.

-NOTE-
Please do look at the HIGH RESOLUTION for a clearer image, it is VERY hard to make a monkey out of water, maintaining its face and features.
