Description
Ingens Profundum – (something like) enormous seaThis time it was very difficult for me to finnish this work. I worked my whole autumn-holidays on it and started to work on it a long time ago. It started when I was looking for some good stocks and while seeing all those great beach-scenes I got the idea of an underwater-scene with some fishes und coralls. To get the idea was easy but then I began to start looking for some good stocks. After writing a mail to every stock-artist I found 4 stocks, which were usefull for the sea and the underwater-scene.
I thought it couldn’t be that difficult to combine them but it was much difficulter than I thought. I had many problems with the underwater-scene until I changed the stocks and found something what fits better. I added some lights and so on and I had to change the shadows and the lightning on some objects but finally I had a good base to work on.
After creating and deleting some nebula-work I found something, which seemed to work.
There were many times, when I thought that all the effort I put into it isn’t worth but now I can say that I’m really in love with the result.
Thanks to Nameless-Designer for some good advices, the idea with the waterdrops and for the name
Thank you for the view
C/c and favs are highly appreciated!
[edit] I removed the waterdrops

I love the perspective of this one. The otherworldly atmosphere and the moons and suns really take me to a place that seems full of adventure. I think you did a great job with the underwater parts. The lights in the water really make it work. thanks

The concept is really cool. There is some light issues here, a few places the light is off and look strange. Also the line by the rocks there, they look to "pasted" in, even if they are I think it looks nicer when they're more balanced into the image .
Still a nice job and I know how hard it can be to get photos/stocks to blend nicely with each other.
Good!

if you wanted to keep the two light sources i would have moved the one in the top right to a more central location, it kind of throws of both the lighting and the composition. That said, its a very nice piece, some really technically impressive stuff in there. Good job mate

Mmmm. I normally hate anything that has to do with space and large amounts of water as it reminds me of science. However, this makes me feel calm and happy. Very nice feeling! I love it.
