((black background)), Floating eyes look like 6-inch long, semi-transparent fish with a single large eye located in the center of its body along its dorsal region. They are most often found underground in forgotten dungeon waterways and underground lakes and seas. The creature’s eye is capable of bioluminescence, and it has such minute control over the intensity and patterns of the light that it can mesmerize other creatures that see it. Floating eyes are part of an unusual symbiotic relationship with a variety of predatory fish, including sharks. Once the floating eye has mesmerized its prey, predatory fish move in and consume it. After they have eaten, the floating eye moves in and gorges itself on the scraps. Floating eyes are small saltwater fish that have transparent bodies and a single large eye about the size of a walnut located in the center of their body. Creatures meeting the gaze of a floating eye must succeed on a saving throw or stare blankly at the floating eye for 1d6+1 rounds. A swimming creature that fails its save does not sink, but floats on the surface of the water., (semi-transparent fish with a single large eye located in the center of its body along its dorsal region.)

Aquatic Reverie
In the depths of a dreamlike realm, a luminous creature beckons. Its glowing eye, a window into a mystical dimension, draws the viewer into a state of tranquil wonder. The fluid, iridescent form, awash in a spectrum of blues and whites, dances amidst a school of vibrant companions, their movements evoking the ebb and flow of an ethereal, underwater universe.
As the creator of this surreal vision, I sought to capture the ethereal beauty and captivating essence of the aquatic world. Through the interplay of light, color, and form, I aimed to invoke a sense of reverie, inviting the viewer to suspend disbelief and immerse themselves in this captivating, otherworldly tableau.
The technical challenges of rendering the intricate details and translucent textures of the fish were matched only by the joy of bringing this aquatic reverie to life. In each brushstroke, I hoped to distill the tranquil energy and mysterious allure of the deep, creating a work that would transport the viewer to a realm where the boundaries between reality and dreams dissolve, leaving only the mesmerizing beauty of the natural world.
