Submarine

Brief: Interpret the title as you wish into some kind of creative visual brilliance. (No, it doesn't have to be yellow.)

This thread is where you post your final entries, WIPs (work in progress) should be posted over here:  cgartnexus.com/index.php/forum/challenge...ay-26-submarine-wips

Fin :

 

 

Nice and moody
Too bad we only got one fin, makes it hard to swim

and... next...

Thanks. There was meant to be a big (possibly finned) beasty in the picture, but I didn't have time to do that. It was intended to be a kind of remake of a pic I did a long time ago.

Next... 

This is excellent, even without any beasties. The emptiness of the background helps to emphasise the depth and pressure of the water while also creating a sense of isolation.
I thought the texturing work you did on the vehicle was a really high quality (I certainly couldn't see any errors) and I love the way the lights are highlighting those bubbles.

And sorry for not getting round to doing anything for this one. GamePass is a use it or lose it thing and I always feel compelled to get my money's worth.

Thanks. Substance Painter's preset materials did most of the work for texturing, I mostly just did some adjustments and painted the rusty streaks. The most I did was for the design on the brass plaque done in Inkscape... which is barely visible in the final
