Description
I verified that in D&D terms a Gelatinous Cube is, in fact, considered an 'ooze', you know, to make sure this was authentic and all. I mean granted sinking into a cube would be pretty unpleasant and painful, I think most of this dude's arm/outfit would be going melty melty by now. I should have positioned the cube and adventurer further down, give more negative space up top and help emphasize the struggle to reach up and escape, although I suppose having him so close to the top pushes a subliminal narrative of running out of time and possible roads to escape.The last layers added were this pinkish hue set to Overlay and then I duplicated that and inverted it, setting it to Screen at 33%...I figured the pink would bring in some sickly warmth while the screen layer would in a sense wash out everything with another layer of higher key hue... or something...
I love Gelatinous Cubes 🙂 All hail Juiblex!

I like the framing. The focus on negative space starting in the center actually pulls my view down, giving the feeling of overwhelming dissolution. The hand is there, a cry to be saved that will go unheeded, as the battle is already lost. Gelatinous cubes are creatures of pure horror that often go unnoticed and are often under appreciated. This captures that sense of sinking despair and impotence that makes the horror all the more real.
Well done. And I enjoy your descriptions, they always add to the stories you create
