Just to prove that I am still working on this, and that I think it is coming along nicely, here is another update:

Freddy and Amphora WIP 4

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it look more like it is underwater, like how to add little particles for depth and more realism, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

Otherwise enjoy!

I really likee. As far as making it look more "underwater", two thoughts come to mind.
One, for the particles, try drawing some shapes, and dots, keeping them fairly indistinct, and maybe at a low opacity. That might simulate the effect of water between them and the viewer.
Also, I might try making the water more blue, and less green. Underwater colors come in a variety of hues, but I think most people associate water with the color blue.

Hope that helps!

As for the water color, that was just a personal choice based on some underwater images that I have seen. But, I can understand how adding some blue might help, I will experiment some with it and see if I like it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Water colour makes sense actually. The scene is supposed to be taking place in the middle of a storm and the dark green colours are perfect for that.

I can't believe how beautiful this is turning out to be SlaveDawg. This is incredible and I can't tell you how happy and touched I am to have been part of inspiring it. Yes, I am a bit biased, but I can't really see anything incorrect or wrong. The way you are simulating the effects of being underwater on the skin is great. Their hair, clothes, everything. I am deeply impressed and can't wait to see this finished.
