My mentality is new now, I am no one, nameless, faceless. I see myself reflected in the blue of the sea, in every precious sunflower seed, every fragile life; I am the wide expanse of the sky and the universe, a universe where I was born again.
Now I finally understand the true mission of "The Others", which now also belongs to me; humanity must be eliminated and this species, my species will live.
This I am, nature, sea, sky, space. I am the earth.

It was time to finish the collection, so I wanted to make a scene of triumph and imminent invasion, something that clearly says "we are coming for you and you don't stand a chance against us".
At first I wanted the water to be a purple color, but it did not fit in the color composition, so I left it aside and focused on the lady's dress giving the first brush strokes to define the folds of the fabric of the dress.
To find a better color palette for the water, I resorted to the first artwork in this collection, but changed the blend mode to "hue" to capture new shades of color.
Then, in a new layer, I proceeded to colorize based on these colors, all this under the dress layer, so I didn't have to worry about ruining it, I just focused on finding the right color palette to fit the color of the dress since I loved it.
The atmosphere felt very apocalyptic, but I didn't want to fall into it, so I went for even lighter tones, which would enhance the dress and the ladies coming out of the water.
As for the water, I didn't want to take weeks drawing it, so this time I did use some textures that would help me to lighten the work, playing with the swell. I also duplicated the dress layer, inverted it to make the reflection in the water, but with the "liquify" tool I distorted the reflection to create something cooler.
The shimmers on the skin and the dress are created using curve modification, inverting the colors and then painting them back smoothly with a layer mask.
With Ctrl+Mayus+Alt+E I blended the whole illustration in a new layer, then with the "liquify" tool I corrected some proportions that I didn't like how they looked, the most evident is the head of the lady that comes out of the water from the left. Of course I could not miss the gaussian blur and the glitch effect to make this artwork the last of this collection that I loved and I enjoyed a lot to do it, I am very satisfied with it.
I will leave you a GIF with the whole process on it, so you can better appreciate the illustration process.
Tell me in the comments that you imagine when you see this illustration.
