Artist's Comments

Another old one from 2003. I had in my mind an image of a wrecked ship suspended underwater. It wasn't until the ship was almost finished that I realized... wrecked ships sink. I added the the submarine towing the wreck, rendered in a different 3D program. In hindsight I like the suggestion of a bit of a story. The image is of course heavily Photoshopped to give it the misty underwater look. I stayed away from the traditional blues and greens of an underwater scene, opting instead for muddier colours; for some reason, these tend to appeal to me.

Thanks, Rajko. For this, it was Photoshop 6.0. I've since switched to CS1, though I sometimes use the GIMP, too. (I like to support development of freeware when I can).

The choice of color is really well done. It give the feeling of depth under water.

Thanks! I actually went through a lot of colour schemes, starting with the obvious blues and greens of water and progressing around the colour wheel to my more usual palette. That's one advantage of digital art, I guess: the ability to make changes like that quickly and easily.

I love that you chose the muddier colors... seems much more 'real' to me. Great image!

Brilliant. I especially like the design style of the wreck itself.
