Holy shit, the choice of color... MAN THAT'S GOOD, keep up the good work!
you should preobably link the thread in the description
I like first idea which you have and I see in Pixelation.
The texture is neat. All those little bits of color one stage lighter being put in as the octopus fades into darkness give a good effect. I think the angler fish should be huge, going off the canvas, and about to eat the octopus. Then it'll be like you click the preview thinking the octopus was going to be terrorizing something only to see it's just the opposite.
Maybe if I get bored enough I'll go back and finish the original concept.
lost all of its charm when the cool scene/lighting turned into a boring fish :(
By far your best piece.
