Deep One's dowry – WIP

by Alex Ledante April 1, 2019, 1:44 am 140 Views 9 Votes 20 Comments

Just thinking more about “The Shadow over Innsmouth” and the deep ones’ take on the whole bargain. Did the daughters of Dagon really want to lay with the sons of Adam? We know they bribed humans with treasure, so one wonders about a dowry…

#1 standard

this is just standard jade

  I know plenty of folks who blew a lot of money on a wedding ring, and then couldn’t even get a quarter of it back. that’s a lousy investment

I see but what about the antique heirloom from grandma … an old cameo ivory …. (Ivory should not be harvested from the animals now). Those are expensive

  you didn’t buy the cameo so when you sell it, that’s all profit. if you buy jewelry, it is unlikely you can resell it and realize a return on your investment

probably too pale, experiments don't always return the results you hope for

Too pale for this image to look great.

I’ve seen many iterations of Jade, all four fit, but I like the background of the last one and the jade of the first one.

  the easy thing about jade texture is there is such a wide range it is easy to stay inside the gamut. the hard thing is making one that I like…
