Description
Again with the steampunk thing. A bit of the old "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".Our explorer investigates the depths of the sea in search of a sunken vessel rumored to hold a fortune in treasure.
Legend has it that the vessel is guarded by an unkown beast.....But who believes in legends anyway, right?
EDIT -
Been getting a lot of feedback in terms of similarities to the video game "Bioshock"
Just to point out that this character is based on the old diving suits worn during the turn of the century.
Thes vintage diving suits were around long before Bioshock.
Take a look -

Obviously Bioshock was inspired by these dive suits.

I love old diving suits, this is excellent.
Those tentacles give this thing a nice atmospheric touch to it, and the sick greenish color works real nice.
I'm amazed at the amount of detail on the ocean floor.
Bioshock wasn't all that great, you know. It was one of those ideas that is going to be better off as a movie than a game.
This is just the bee knee's, though. I'd buy a print.

I'm almost speechless...the colors in this piece, the murkiness of the water, and the glow from the helmet, they're all amazing.

This actually reminded more of the dive suits from the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea film which I probably watched a thousand times as a child. Your stuff is simply gorgeous though.

Really nicely done. It might make you happy to hear I didn't think any thing about bioshock til I read the addition you made to your description. I was thinking it seems very Juelz Verne inspired.

WOW. Pat, that is fantastic. Not only do you have the great visuals of the light pouring out of the helmet but it's also got such a great sense of this guy lumbering along the ocean floor. I love it.

Trying to run in a suit that heavy and the fact you would be in the water scares me! That concept in the back of your mind makes looking at the picture extra special

That's amazing, the placement of the tentacles really frames this piece, great colours you've nailed that murky depths look.
Good sense of weight on the diver

This picture is responsible for the creation of a howl new gnome (D&D) race
Hope the artist is pleased with himself...
It's an awesome piece and I never get tired of looking at it.
The colours of the deep see are very well chosen and the effect with the lights of the diver is something else that I really like
