I have no idea what I'm doing. Any suggestions? |

| It looks like it's going pretty well. You've done a good job giving that doorway/opening some some depth, and the character design is nice. Keep at it. |

I really dig (get it?) the sand texture on the building. The spire at the top looks a little flat, and the inside back wall could use some texture. ------------- |

That left building looks awesome, nice job on the texture, no crits here.

I think the water is going to be the hardest part. I should probably add another crab guy somewhere, too. Edit: And some different colors. 
Replaced the two darkest colors with black so I can get an extra color for the water. |

I like the lower contrasted one better. But the second one looks good.

I like the higher contrast, but I think your sand colors got just a teensy bit too green. ------------- |

How about this?
Threw a layer of pure blue over it at 15% opacity. |

???
Adding blue isn't a good way to neutralize green 
Anyhow, I think it's too blue now, and I think you'd be better served to handpick your colors. I still like it though  ------------- |

Well, I thought it looked better with the lower contrast because it's under water, right?

Hum. I thought this was a seaside scene. I guess the anemone and the coral should have tipped me off >_>
Kind of throws my brilliant color advice out the window -_- ------------- |

Don't worry, Hatch, I could feel the same way! Is on the beach or underwater?

| Underwater. I'm going to add some kelp and stuff, and make the blue part at the top actually look like the surface of the water. Hopefully it'll look less beachlike. |

Ah! Well, knowing that, I think I like the last one the best (the blue one). It looks the most underwater-y to me. ------------- |

I want to add some fish, and maybe some clams, but I am having trouble making the clam look like a clam. |

Agreed, looks good.

Yup! A fish will make it look underwater.
