Finally getting around to playing with the Wacom Bamboo Tom got me. My first attempt at illustration in Photoshop in a long time and I learned some valuable lessons.
Holy shit, man! This is awesome! I saw this and thought you were just posting a cool drawing you'd found on the internet or something. Love the texture of the water, the shadows on the body, the floating hair, and, of course, the smiling stingray on the bottom left. What a merry little fellow. Great work. This would look totally at home in a summer issue of the New Yorker.
Thanks! Yeah, I actually had a really great time drawing this, since it's based on an actual memory I have from summer of 2004. There were an awful lot of bat rays out near the marine room, for whatever reason, and the water was in the mid-seventies one day. Pretty amazing day out there.
You got the phototrophic zone here. The play of light is amazing.
I invite you to do a series of creatures from the Sea of Cortez (humboldt squid, white shark, oarfish, gray whale) doing as they do, or maybe fighting each other. For glory, say.
