Description
An insight-view into the digestion-chamber/stomach of a Ya-Te-Veo, the maneating tree. As we see, the carnivorous plant has devoured a victim and closed its maw with the inwards pointing spikes so only a narrow opening remained. This predator is a plant but it acts more like a sea anemone and is very active in catching prey with fast and strong tendrils. The look of an old, gnarly tree is only camouflage. Contrary to other carnivorous plants the Ya-Te-Veo did not extracts nutrients from the soil anymore, it is totally adapted to prey on animals or humans.

Glands in the maw produce a thick greasy slime when the victim is kneaded and sucked down into the digestion-chamber by pulsating movements of muscle-like actuators. During this process the skin and fur (or clothings) of the prey will be saturated with the slime. This slime is akin to many saliva, it is a pre-digestive enzyme that tenderizes the skin of it's meals and makes it easier to digest, and it prevent that a once eaten prey will climb up the chamber and try to escape. This substance is extreme slippery and made every try to escape useless. The desperate struggle of a victim can last for many hours and due its screaming for help it may lure more victims in.
The movements of the struggling prey stimulate the digestion-chamber to produce stronger digestive juices that starts to digest the fresh flesh, too. The girl realized the painful burning on her legs as the level of digestive juice in the chamber slowly rised, but the pain will stop soon and she will not feel her limbs anymore. Exhausted by the useless tries to escape and the work of the digestive juices she will finally lost her consciousness and slip completely into the oily liquid that will dissolve her body in a few days. Ya-Te-Veos gastric acids are highly absorbable, which flows into the skin and flesh of its prey and then begins to systematically break down the tissue of its prey and slowly melts it into a pile of formless mass that can be absorbed by the plant.

The victim in the foreground was devoured about 3 days before the girl and is already completely digested, only bones, hooves, horns and jewelry and synthetic filaments of human prey will remain. If too many indigestible remains of prey accumulated in the stomach, the plant regurgitate the remains, mainly skeletons, from time to time by evaginating the digestion-chamber through the maw. Bones and other indigestible remains can be always found scattered around this carnivorus plant.

Something more done with Ya-Te-Veo for a good start into a happy creepy new year!
It was no problem to toss some poor girl into the range of Ya-Te-Veos greedy tendrils and to wait until the screaming morsel was devoured... but to manage to throw a camera afterwarts into the beasts maw while to avoid to follow the lady as the second catch of the day, was the main problem... but i got my internal shot

Technical side:
DAZ-Studio 4 Pro & and a huge amount of slippery slimy post-production in PSP X as almost ever... Need to buy PSP X4 as next. PSP X, originally made for Win XP, shows some strange behaviour sometimes...
Finding a good camera-position and focal-length in the narrow stomach of Ya-Te-Veo caused some problems too.

Introducing a new logo 2012: My old CC horseshoe-logo was originally created on an Amiga-1000 with "DeluxePaint III" by Electronic Arts ( [link] ) in the early 1990s, converted via the "Amiga Sidecar" to MS-DOS, later to Windows.
My 2008-logo is still the almost unchanged original, later converted and several times revised in PSP 6 and PSP X. In spite of the enhancements done for use it again in 2009, 2010 and 2011, it didn't fit the todays graphic-standards anymore, so the new version was completely new made from scratch as a 3D-model in Hexagon, rendered in DAZ-Studio 3 and post-production in PSP X.
