I really loved how the drowning piece [x] turned out so I sat down, put Blue Planet II on again and drew something a bit more uplifting this time. Originally I planned to have Blue snorkelling but since skeles don’t have lungs I thought “why snorkel when you can dive? Its not like he needs oxygen or has haemoglobin”
I tried to put most of the detail into the environment itself and I planned on having octopuses or bio-luminescent fish at the front in the dark rock ridges but they frame the scene really well and I didn’t want to make them look too busy.
