Graphite pencil work, based on the game Aquaria.
___
I remember clearly when I first time saw the menu screen of Aquaria, and that beautiful and eerie-like background music.

At first I wondered who's that character inside that crystal, and what it meant, because the image wasnt sad at all; but later it was too obvious that her fate was horrible - colourful crystal pillar, a pleasant sight after a journey, would be her prison in the end. For all eternity, who knows.

Hehe, dunno about that. One thing is sure; unwanted things usually tend to feel longer than eternity!

Thank you for the comment!

I love those movements of the water - I mean the grass and the small fishes they create the feeling of the stream, and it's very intence!

Good to hear, thank you!

Underwater perspective and those various aspects are hard to figure out, so I tried to draw some "currents" there, as it's a small cave so water and plants with all those fish will move along the flow...

I guess I should go scuba diving at least once in my life to see how it really looks like ;)

Brilliantly done as always. It's really hard to draw underwater effects with just pencil. But nevertheless this one is a great piece. The details are really amazing.

Thank you again for the comment, Grishend.

There's a compromise between realism and showy illustration, so maybe it's better to aim for that instead :)Practising helps (or I hope that ;)).
