Binke - this is what I was talking about - light's coming pretty much from the top, caustics, no fishies  ...
I used your palette, because I think you hit the colors right on the spot! 
Took me lil bit less than an hour ... original res.

Its weird that people are doing sub picks when the russian sub-mariners are trapped in their own as we speak. Hope they get out okay.....
Nice sub pick BTW.

Great painting Loki, I love the sub and the water looks great...Look like you could jump right in...
Very nice job....Photoshop right?
The sub looks a bit small to me?? I could be blowing smoke also.....I dont know I would think looking at it from that angle and where you are on the seabed the sub would be bigger??
Great picture though! |

nice loki I like the light you've made a lot. Could be nice with some height variations and mountains as well, but I guess that's not what you wanted to illustrate in this example picture.

Nice one Loki! That's so cool how you've got the light refraction reflected on the hull like that. 
I just thought of something. Imagine rotating the sub so that the 'cockpit' is at the bottom.
What have you got?
An Airship!!!

Ahhh ok thanks, I see what you mean.
Hey it almost looks rendered, heh!
But hmm.. would the sunrays really be showing at a very deep level, yeah say 300m?

Actually, at 300m it's already pretty dark. This is more like 40m.
I was talking to a deep-diver (trimix) while I was in Hawaii. He told me that already at a 100m everything looks very 'muddy' and dark. You have to have lights with you when you're doing work down there. He was extracting rocksamples from the oceanfloor.
One time, he said, there were sharks going crazy down there. They were making close passes at them and freaked them out. So they decided to cut their decompression times in half, in order to get out of the water quicker (usually it takes an hour to deco from down there). They all got the bends ...
The guy had some other crazy stories, but this is an artforum and not storytime, isn't it?
God, I miss Hawaii!  |
