Description
seemed to like the first one of these so he got a second commisson from me of his character Elana.I tried a different water effect again, and it turned out okay I think. One step closer to using photoshop not-noobishly

Very nicely done!! I can appreciate this as I'm a scuba diver myself!
I wonder what a bit more rim lighting would do?

hmm...good suggestion!

I can't wait personally to get back to the GBR again and scuba dive down there. But there are some nice places around Tasmania as well aren't there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I faved this a little while ago, but was unable to comment; as I was being shoved out the door XD
I must say, this is awesome ^^ I've always wanted to Scuba dive, myself... Closest I've come so far was retrieving things off the bottom of the 20' dive pool, with nothing but a pair of goggles and mah own lungs XD I'd imagine having a pressurized and constant air supply would make for a nice, rather relaxed feel; instead of that burning, frantic; near-panic moment of lunging toward the surface from the bottom; before you can't hold it any longer...

yeah, holding your breath is only good for having bets with friends on who can do it the longest. I have gone snorkeling but not diving either u___u

Eh; it's kinda fun once you get used to it ^^
Although, I found it kinda odd that upon getting past the feeling of my head getting crushed from the pressure difference (around 10' or so); there was a change in buoyancy or something, because I stopped floating, and could stand on the bottom of that pool... Standing on the bottom of a 20' deep pool; looking up and watching a whole bunch of people playing 'shark and minnows' is a trip XD
I was down there for a good two minutes, maybe a bit longer; but once I jumped off the bottom, and reached about 15'; my buoyancy returned with a vengeance; multiplying the effect; and sending me rocketing out of the pool XD (cleared a good 4 feet out of the water upon reaching the surface)

Fishy!
Lol, you know...you're one of the few people I know who can make someone look good in scuba gear XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
really? XD but....scuba gear is basically just a swimsuit with extra parts...how hard could it be to make somebody look good in that? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean things like the goggles, the tank, breathing apparatus and all that. Even the swimsuit. They usually have those full body wetsuits and the mask that obscures most of their face, with a huge oxygen tank. Kinda like this [link] Not quite good looking XD
You made her look pretty cute here, and the gear doesn't detract from that quality.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I kept the gear fairly minimal on purpose....otherwise you wouldnt see the character at all XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
just the one fish for some reason XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
may i make a wild guess what happened to all the other fish?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a Mega shark ate the other fish or that is Fred of the fish world.

Scuba Diving is awesome!! Trust me, i've done it before!

I'll bet! I will do it one day...

Very lovely. She looks great. Though, would've looked better with a tail, but overall. Looks awesome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah well, you know she doesnt have one >:3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh. I know. Just saying what I think, but still a lovely pic.

Tempting me with more swimming.
It's so clear. Is the ocean where you live really that clear?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
in some places. Not at the beach where I live though XD

Lightning strikes twice, sir! I like how she's looking at a fish in this one... the nation she comes from in this International Lab happens to have a lot of fish dishes, so I wonder if she's either smiling at it because it's doing something or she's thinking 'hmm... I wonder if I can take it back and fry it up for dinner...' She's a nature lover, so it's probably not that, lol.
But still, this picture is awesome as well! I think I might have found an artist who can draw my characters really freaking well! Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
glad to hear it! I'll try to make it three times for that lightning XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It looks awesome! I especially like how the shadows are in the pic; looking so subtle.
Also too bad that yu guys can't do scuba-ing right now since its in the middle of winter for you guys. *thwonks self on head seeing that in Brisbane and Darwin and such that it is actually possible.* xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, it's never winter in some parts of australia! CX
however..I'm waaaay down south..almost near the south pole XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xDDD Like Ray Liehm said 'You can almost see Antarctica from your house.' xD
Oh mai, what's that random iceberg jutting from the bay. rofl
Well you must have some killer ski resorts around a few mountains where you live, I assume.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there are some...but our mountains are a bit too oddly shaped to ski on properly XD
