Artist's Comments

I'm quite happy with this since this is my first time trying to do a full-fledged photo-manip and it took me a whole day pretty much. The concept is its some distant future where the earth is submerged underwater. This mecha-fish is searching for something... I honestly would rather leave it up to your imagination though. Biggest challenge was getting the lighting to look as realistic as possible and finding stocks that worked (all stocks from sxc.hu and cgtextures, btw). A few elements are my own such as the hologram and the school of fish. Orginal file size is somewhere around 4000x3000.

Hope you enjoyed it! I have an alternatively colored version as well.

Definitely a great start for your first full photo-manip. The stocks work well together in the rock formation. They jumble up a bit under the fish, kind of hard to define what kind of object it even is. Not crazy about the text on the right side. You can definitely find a more appropriate font than that. But the fish and the lighting are great. And the colours work really well together. Deep sea feel with a futuristic neon vibe.

I agree with the part under the fish... its a bit convoluted. I used this font because I felt it was plain enough that it would work well with the image. If you notice even though I'm depicting a sort of post-apocalyptic future there's still a soothing feeling to the image, from the lighting to the fishy. Just thought it worked. If you have any specific suggestions I'd like to hear em.

I probably should be studying though, LOL.
