Description
Shelby Bly explores the submerged ruins in the Mediterranean Sea as danger lurks nearby. From the Shelby Bly Project.
NOVEMBER 18, 2019
Software Tools: Poser 11 Pro, Photoshop CC
Notes: This started out as a test scene to see if I could create a convincing underwater effect for my graphic novel illustrations which I will be starting on very soon. (The graphic novel I speak of is the Shelby Bly Project.) I then added more to the scene including an early concept of the “Sunken Temple Ruins” from the novel and a deadly “Siren” which can be found somewhere in the scene (hint: look next to that pillar on the left)plus, of course, Shelby Bly in her scuba gear. I think my underwater technique still needs a bit more work but at least I’m on the right track now. I’ll keep working on it but for now, I rather like the way this artwork turned out. I am always open to constructive critique if you have any to offer though! Just leave a comment and let me know how you think I could improve this scene. Thank you.

Considering that underwater scenes are a royal ##### to pull off well, you've done a good job here, Lizzie.
Perhaps a layer of particulate matter over the top, and a bit of experimenting with transparency and/or blend modes. And perhaps a layer of bluish/aqua tone set to multiply with about 90% or so transparency. Then stick a layer mask on it, and 'paint' with black on the layer mask to simulate godrays coming through the water..
Great image!!!
Nicely done! I like how the light falls across the figure. And I spotted the Siren (thanks to your hint)!
