Dream theatre

I've always been fascinated by the ocean and the wonderful creatures that grace the deepest abysses of the underwater world. I feel that the world below there is very intangible, like a free-floating mass unlike the way it is up here. I started out by drawing this really goofy-looking seahorse but I decided to transform this pencil drawing into a layering composition. The colouring is done entirely in photoshop, merged with three background layers and enhanced using some basic filters.
