Deep Beneath

Description

Nobody knows anything about Gazer's sea, nor anything about it's inhabitants. But everyone knows that this place wil consume it's visitors, dragging them deep into the abyss. 
Sometimes, during clear weather you can see tiny lights shining deep beneath, these are Gazers, and they may be watching you back as well, you never know.

Nobody saw Gazers close enough to describe them, probably this is for the best.    

P.S: A lot of lighting and shining here. Been trying ambient light as well with volume. Came out pretty well-done (maybe).

Hello from ProjectComment:wave: 

This is a pretty atmospheric drawing...and that atmosphere is pretty creepy! I sure wouldn't want to run into one of those creatures. The texturing on the Gazer is really good, and gives it a nice smooth look. Also, I REALLY like the lighting on the webbing bit.

I think one thing that would add a little more visual interest would be adding some floating particles around the water...these could also help add depth, too, since they would vary in color/brightness based on which light source they were near. On that note, you mentioned that part of the reason the light doesn't go very far is that the water isn't very clear. I may be wrong, but I think that in water like that, the light would still go out a bit further than it does, but it would be diffused and kind of soft, rather than "clear" and illuminating just a few spots. (i hope that doesn't sound like gibberish =P )

I do notice that the circular part of the ship with the light seems a little bit non-circular. The inner ring looks right, but the far side of the outer ring looks a bit flattened.

I won't go on about it being kind of dark (I was able to see everything well by turning up my brightness all the way, btw), but I would recommend that if you can, while working on pieces like this, you should occasionally lower the brightness of your screen a bit so you can see how it will look on dimmer screens. It might also help to zoom out really far so you can see how much of the lighting still catches your eye from a thumbnail type view.

All in all, I think this is a really good piece that just needs a little tweaking of details to be even better. 

Keep up the good work! :D
