step 4 of 10
Underwater source used for background vegitation
step 5 of 10
Background is sprayed with airbrush in sea blue color, then background vegetation scene placed over it with opacity reduced about 25% to allow the blue to glow through it.
step 6 of 10
Here is a closeup of the bracket fungus after being made into a sea fan using smudge, eraser, distort and scale tools. Liquify warp also was used to pull some edges to look like water current might be moving them. Color change is made using hue/saturation tool, and some are reduced in opacity .
step 7 of 10
Varying colors of sea fans are placed against the background scene. To change the bottom of the background scene to more lavender colors, I duplicated the background, removed most of the top half with a soft eraser tool, then hue/saturation tool was used to change the bottom half colors.
step 8 of 10
The first turtle is shopped and moved into place between layers of the fans.
step 9 of 10
The 2nd turtle is chopped and fit in between layers near bottom of scene. Turtles will now be given more of a green/blue hue using hue/sat tool. Then they get a slight gaussian blur as they are moving.
step 10 of 10
Finally, 10 % filters each of yellow, blue and green are added. A very light spray of pale blue is airbrushed over plants at back of scene to help give more dimension.
