Started this image earlier last year but i had to put it to one side after moving to a new job and country
Anyway ive finally found enough free time to get it done.
I wanted the image to have an etherial look to it so i spent a lot of time working out the most appropriate light to create that mood. i had originally tried simply using a single light source behind the character but the image became quite dark and gloomy, so i ended up adding a second infront of her.
The original resolution is 4000 by 4000 pixels so i was able to cram a lot of detail into the jelly fish, which are amazing creatures to paint!
