Ingens Profundum – (something like) enormous sea

This time it was very difficult for me to finnish this work. I worked my whole autumn-holidays on it and started to work on it a long time ago. It started when I was looking for some good stocks and while seeing all those great beach-scenes I got the idea of an underwater-scene with some fishes und coralls. To get the idea was easy but then I began to start looking for some good stocks. After writing a mail to every stock-artist I found 4 stocks, which were usefull for the sea and the underwater-scene.
I thought it couldn’t be that difficult to combine them but it was much difficulter than I thought. I had many problems with the underwater-scene until I changed the stocks and found something what fits better. I added some lights and so on and I had to change the shadows and the lightning on some objects but finally I had a good base to work on.
After creating and deleting some nebula-work I found something, which seemed to work.

There were many times, when I thought that all the effort I put into it isn’t worth but now I can say that I’m really in love with the result.

Thanks to Nameless-Designer for some good advices, the idea with the waterdrops and for the name and thanks to all the other people for their advices!

Thank you for the view
C/c and favs are highly appreciated!

[edit] I removed the waterdrops
