Description
""The ocean is a desert with its life underground."
The line from America's "A Horse With No Name" popped into my head when I was doing my desert image a couple of days ago. Then, I flipped on the Tonight Show that night, by chance and America was playing. Twilight Zone theme started playing in my head, soon after. Figured I'd follow the thought.
And I know someone will mention Roger Dean's cover art for Yes's Tales from Topographic Oceans, so there.

Plants from 3dplants. I used Toucan's fish and a couple of CP sharks. The schools of small fish were made from terrains, using a fish shaped brush I made for Bryce6. It's available in a thread in the Bryce Forum.

OK If you insist! Roger Dean's Topographic Oceans. Actually, I was thinking of David Lee Roth's 'Hammerhead Shark'. Interesting pic. 4
Damn! Now that song will be in my head the rest of the day! Very good interpretation of that line, exactly how I pictured it in my head all those years ago when the song first came out.
I was thinking more "SpongeBob SquarePants"...but probably only because I have young kids.
THe fish school very naturally--you must have spent some time copying and placing them just right! Maybe Shari123 got you started with her "Horse With No Name" last week!
Well, I always thought cactus looked like coral and visa versa.
Outstanding, as usual !
"The ocean is a desert with its life underground and the perfect of skies above"....Wonderful Dave, thank you! [=
I love your interpretation of one of my favorite songs. Excellent work. Bunny
I remember the song and it came to mind soon as I checked my e mail and saw the notification. You did a wonderful job of illustrating a greate song
