Description
Ned Land utters these words in 20,000 Leagues under the Sea when he comes upon Aronnax and Conseil observing a giant squid at the Nautilus salon window. In the alternate story line illustrated here, Nemo's visiting daughter says this to Nemo. I composed the scene to mimic an illustration in the original publication of the novel.
The setting is Cybertenko's Nautilus Project Salon. The beast is Codeman's old Architeuthis Dux, old technology designed for Poser 4 and hard to pose, but nicely textured. Nemo is M4 with a custom face and the Mateo skin texture, G3 Whiskers mod'd for M4, and Estio Curls hair from DAZ. His uniform uses the pants from the US Cavalry Pack, boots from Andreas Schmitt, and the M3 Poet shirt (DAZ). Nemo's daughter is V4 with the Emma Lee texture and Edwardian hair (DAZ), wearing the Edwardian Boarding Suit skirt (DAZ), Hongyu's shirt, and the Gunslinger vest. Zoe, at the window, is forever the Millennium Cat.
The scene was composed and rendered in layers in Poser 11 Pro. I composited the layers in Corel PhotoPaint.

I like it that Nemo lets his cat run around the decks of the Nautilus. Must be interesting being a ships cat on a submarine lol!
