Wow, the realism in this is incredible! I thought it was a photo until I read the description. I like the background as well -- it's nice and simple and doesn't distract from the really detailed animal, and the blurring of the seaweed helps give it a sense of depth.

Very cool! I really like the detail you have in its scales! I also like the subtlety of the rays through the ocean in the background. Gives it a nice balance.

This turned out fantastic! I just love it. The seaweed-stuff looks awesome as well.

Although I must admit, I am a tiny bit disappointed that you've used someone else's bubble brushes on this one when I know you'd be more then capable of drawing bubbles and/or making your own brushes. The bubbles just look a little out of place to me...But I could just be being nitpicky. I love this artwork anyway

Yeah those bubbles...I totally agree with you. I'm a bit ashamed too but that's because I'm soooo lazy to make bubbles myself. I always tell myself to make my own bubbles on the next underwater drawing but I never get it done. Next time I swear I'll do it!

If I don't then please slap me! XD

Thanks!
