Artist's Comments

I have had this idea in my head for so long now, finally got motivated to start working on it, took me 2 days to paint all this, based on a photo I took in Hong Kong. I plan to paint a series of this style... they are all in my head... it's like a short story...

I am quite happy about how it has turned out, and it's also the first time ever for me to paint such detailed stuff! Painting the underwater surface is a big challenge as well.

100% photoshop with a few photo references taken by myself. Hope you like it! This resized version doesn't show the detail much, but just FULL VIEW IT thank you!

Thanks `niteangel for the suggestion of the nemos included in the painting otherwise this painting will be killing you with blue colour overdose :P

OMG i got a DD. ._. Thank you very much nighty and everyone for liking this piece! here's the 1600x1200 wallpaper version: [link] and thanks again! :D :heart: sorry if i can't reply to the comments but there are so many! lol

04/11/2006: I have done a little bit of modification to the painting, added a layer of water, tuned the colour etc, and a new frame, hope you'd like it. oh and sorry about the popping up! (if there is one?)

A stunning blue water image with a touch of orange. One of my favorite colors combinations. I hope you enjoy Fishing in the City by =geckokid as much as I do. (Featured by `nighty)

I really like the colors of this. This is a photomanip? It looks like a digital painting. I like the farsightedness too. :P

Maybe it’s got some glaring errors, but if so, consider me too unknowledgeable to notice them :nod:
