"Not Your Grave"

(First official render of mine in Blender + Photoshop!)

The Spartan hit the water like a brick. It felt like landing on a huge cushion at breakneck speed, accompanied by a cool breeze of his undersuit getting soaked by the water. Ben was losing consciousness and the weight of his armor made it impossible for him to even move a single muscle. He could only watch as debris followed him as he sank further and further into the depths of Installation 05. Ben then heard a voice in his head; a dark, ghastly voice.

"This is not your grave." the voice spoke. "But you are welcome in it."

Suddenly, a tentacle emerged from below Ben, wrapping itself around his abdomen. Ben felt it tighten, making him lose consciousness faster. He closed his eyes as the tentacle yanked him down, dragging him further and further into the abyss.
