What I like about it is the various action going on here or there. It is also interesting to see how the idea of amphibious creatures represent the evil angels.

Comments/observations?

I got to admit, I laughed when I saw the sea otter (?) at the upper right hand corner.

What a scary picture.

The flying otter at the upper-right side was very funny though.

I like how one of the fallen angels horns has a muffler.

The other on is out of alignment.

They are blow for all their worth and nothing.
