Some very Ghibli inspired tree tests! Just working on getting those leaf-clump forms to read accurately & scaling the detail level for various distances. Thank you for all the positive feedback on these! Hoping to finish them this coming weekend.
Distance in water (especially murky water or choppy ocean water) can be shown via visibility falloff.
From above, anything below the water will appear to have varying degrees of water distortion. This can be shown through wavy edges to forms & color shifts.
Next up - Bubbles. Bubbles are one of the greatest tools for achieving depth and the illusion of distance underwater.
Bubbles following motion will dictate how powerful the motion was and how much water it pushed.
Using different color combinations, we can achieve different looks with the same general shape language and pattern.
Note in the first example how we can use hue contrast rather than value contrast for a vibrant finish. The second example uses much greater value contrast.
Water's Surface from below 2 - I recommend gathering a lot of photo reference and playing around with colors alongside shapes. often contrast of hue (greenish vs blueish) and saturation (grayer vs more saturated) will play a huge part in realism and separation of shapes.
Children of the Sea is out on Netflix!!! People who've followed me know the manga is one of my earliest & lifelong inspirations, & the movie (art below) is the most stunning adaptation I ever could have asked for. I cant properly describe how much of an inspiration it is.
