Some of the water splashes look like paint splatters, and are obviously premade brushes. Otherwise this is a great entry! GL author.

that's a lot of spittle good luck!!!

Nice use of sources to make the creature and lovely atmosphere. A water brush would have been more efficient for the creation of the splashes, but it looks nice. Wish you luck!

Great classic sea monster and strong dramatic lighting!

congrats!

Congrats!!

Colors, reflection and masks are really well done. Good luck Author

Nice, but I'd fade out the sails in the reflection. Right now it looks a bit too pasted on the water. Good luck!

Nice coloring......

Beautiful coloring.

This is so beautiful, I loved the warm tones, are so soothing!!! Good luck, author!

wow beautiful work!!

I really love this image, colours and reflections are great. I would like to see a bit more space at the top of the sail maybe (but only my opinion - if you like it that way, then go with it!)

Flip the clouds to match the light source. Interesting image otherwise. GL author.

i guess this is best for mixed media 30

Amazing light effect under the clouds! Great blending of sources, Very steampunk look like. Good luck

congrats again!

great job

congrats!

congrats khush bhai !!!

Congrats!!

Lovely atmosphere and nice illumination makes it very fascinating. Also the underwater part results very well made, but, in my opinion, it shouldn't be so wide; it gives emptiness to half of the picture.

#NICE! agree with rusvelt. the underwater szene have to be smaller, cause you can see the water surface from bottom in a wrong perspective! another point: the water line between underwater and upper part is way too linear. you need many small curves in this pic ...however, great lighting and blending skills!

I think the boat has weird shadows... if the light comes from right, there should be no shadow on the right side of the boat. Good luck, i love the mood and the blending :P

Aw, so sorry! I was thinking this was a theme one... wasn't paying attention to the contest's name.

#fresh update! best of luck

Another suggestion, because of the hot color temperature from the shiny sunset, equally the boat colors should be warmer, maybe more on the right side. It's just a suggestion, and my opinion. GL

Makes me want to dive in this sea! This work is very beautiful, very tasteful shade! Good luck, author.

Great hot tones. Well done author

Incredible visual feast!

Lovely Shadow work good luck author
