Secret Ocean

Medium: 100% Photoshop.

By this title name you'd prob guess that its a series kinda pic. same character as the one from my 'Secret Garden' deviation earlier.
I have posted the sketch of this earlier, and I actually started working on the pic in...March, it was for a school project called 'Phantom View' for my digital painting project. However, i pretty much only had the character + membrance done when i handed in the project in March, after that I added the background all the bubbles and the foreground just recently. This pic took a loong time, i think i've used the most layer in this cg compared to all my others.

Actually in the original version, there is a mech part attached to her back, some of my classmates liked it but i dunno if it works...in relation to the whole pic as theres no other mech area in the pic...so i took it out in the end. The original concept was the mech part being the nutrition retriever for the girl in the egg. Each colour on each of the receptors receive different nutients (eg. vitamins, sugar, iron, etc) Heres a link to see that version~
