I don't think once-semi-frequent commenter Addofio visits my blog anymore (she's a liberal, so she probably thinks I'm a Nazi who wants to put Mexicans in concentration camps or something), but I visit hers every time she posts. Her latest post contains plenty of beautiful images from nature; I jokingly commented that I had the urge to Photoshop a Lovecraftian tentacle rising out of one of the lakes she photographed. And that led to this:
It's a mediocre Photoshop job at best. I'm no good at adding water ripples, and I'm sorry about the shadowy penumbra surrounding the tentacle. But before I put the penumbra in place, the tentacle didn't have enough contrast against the background of the lake and the far-shore woods. Think of the shadow as the dark glow of evil.

Now you just need to add Frodo hanging from the end of that tentacle.
For the record, I don't think you are a Nazi who wants to put Mexicans in concentration camps. I know for a fact that you are actually far more horrifying than that.
Tell no one.
