What can I say, I have the 'I want to be Mullins' disease. It's killing me but it won't last long.

What should be in there? How could I make it look more underwater without covering up all the texture with dark atmosphere?

[agent44]

wow! that's really good! I'd put some fish in there. That might make it look underwatery.

First of all...wow!

Excellent details here and there. I think your lighting on the bottom is perfect, and the hanging thing on the top adds a lot of depth to the light there. Also, the hole on the left, and the water out there is looking right on.

Only thing I could see, is maybe more of that upper silhoutte to pull the depth of the water out more. Also, tiny planktonic stuff vanishing in size in the light there might help make it look more like water and less like fog.

Those are my only suggestions...but nice work GP!

thanks 44.
thanks optic, I think you're right. It needs some barnicles and stuff.

Agreed.

Truly awsome.
The lighting is great but not for an underwater scene, personally i think the light should be more scattered/speckled/patchy, with its current consistency it seems out of water.

Thats a fine piece, how long we talking?

[GreenPeach]

Lukias- thanks. Time spent? Well, it used to have a little explorer sub inside that I spent time on too... but the background was probably 10-15 hours, I guess. I painted it at about 2x the rez here.

[Staff Sarge]

Quite nifty! Can you put a drowned, fish-eaten carcass or two in there? No? Oh, well.

Agreeing the comments above, some fish should do the trick, but no bubbles, ok? You could add some underwater plants and stuff, depending how long has the wreck lain in there... it's up to you of course. With or without changes, it's a great pic GB, I like it.

When I make a picture, I always try to tell a story. This unfortunately leads to me not making to many pictures, making them to fast, orjust getting lazy when i can't think of anything. Here's just 'something' happenning. hope it works. Beautiful image by the way, it has that...perfect look to it.

1. I dig this one

2. I dig this one

3. you could add some ripped apart seats and some seaweed

[GreenPeach]

Isric-
THAT'S perfect.

[Lukias]

As the tiny little man stood, scanning the wreck floor, he thought to himself 'It feels like somethings behind me'.
Of course this came a little late as indeed there was something.....the 'Fish blimp'(as he was known to his associates).
The fish approached quietly and thought to itself 'This tiny little man has no idea I'm here'.
And of course we know this is true.

The tiny litle man turned suddenly and then there was silence *silence*.......and then came the realisation..."Jeezzuzz christ!, you scared the shit out of me!", "Sup Frank!" replied the rather large Fish blimp.

Both fish and man then began a lenghy convo which lasted for hours, they reminist and chatted about times past, 'Fish blimp' explained how he'd had kids and how their all grown up and moved on(its a sad story.....no really) and Frank explained that lately his back had been playing up and that he's been seeing a chiropractor....... and they shared a spliff and parted ways.

THE END

Picture = Very Nice

Fish Says " Ummm Sushi "

[zenonithus]

LOL! Lukias!

Yeah I was thinking that. But I guess it's more dark and murkey from what he can see and didn't know what was lurking in the shadows :0

Great work Greenpeach. Excellent lighting and colors. The only crit I have, is that there is too much light. In the sense that the ship doesn't appear to be that deep under the water. Mabee in Isric's version with the diver the light would come from an artificial source such as a flare, etc. But stuff the theory! The light and shadows have been rendered very realisticaly. This thread deserves more attention so I'm bumping it up! Isric, really imaginative and well intergrated addition. Only crit is you painted part of the monster over the debree at the top. But that can be fixed in like 2 seconds!

[Pat]

GreenPeach, stop painting! You're making the rest of us look bad!

Have you thought about some bubbles? Maybe tiny streams of them going up?

Nice image! I agree with most of the comments that have already been posted. Ummm, if you want to add just a touch more "underwater" feel you might want to add some caustic lighting on some of the more lightes surfaces. Also, some random seeming murkiness would give you more of a feel like under deep water. You know, areas that are slightly out of alignment, and perhaps blurred here and there. Still, its not like it needs that stuff to be great looking image! Which it is

[tayete]

Nice wreck! though in all those "National Geographic" films, always appear some cones of light moving from the outside subs' focus.

[Magicman]

hi,

i can only say ... WOW.

bye magicman

[neebhore]

That has got to be one of my favourite pictures i've seen here. I absolutely adore that. Truly amazing.

[Anthony J]

Very nice Greenpeach
Isric: THAT is very very cool! Looks perfect now.

A way to look like its more underwater,is to add a "fog", because you have a very limited sight underwater (depending on how the water is of course), but you cant see everything crystal clear..
