The first 2 was with an ocean modifier. the last 2 was with just a texture. I was trying to get this, it’s a picture from my balcony.

Ok, updated the background/light, and am much happier with it now. I might keep messing with it, but I don’t think I’ll change it too much. Other parts, like the squid, are next.

OK so after the feedback you guys gave me, I must agree about the repetitive of the ripples, I tried recreating the first one I did, but made a sunset version as well.

Hehe they seem to be enjoying themselves. Where do you live, if you don’t mind me asking?
The lighting was a great improvement. Looking good and looking forward to seeing what you’ll end up with
Haha nice one. I like the wonky tank and spear water lens look. How did you make those bubbles/particles?
Nevermind, you posted your workflow… lol

Well I used an image that has a sunset, and using the trick from the environment course from grant by plugging it in the emission slot from the principled bsdf and added a sunlight and changed the color, also used the same image as a HDRI for extra lighting. Also the image I used for the backdrop is a sky dome rather than just a plane. First time trying a sky dome style.

Done, I think.
It occurs to me that this might seem like a rather random entry. I adapted it from a scene in a thing I’m writing. The brief summary is: Thirty million years in the future, some human survivors wake up from cryogenic sleep, and they start to rediscover the world. There are (sapient or sentient I’m never sure which word to use) squid that have good tech, and this is where they first meet.

We @BlenderCollab have a few days to vote. You can vote fast but also think slowly about design, colors, technique, difficulty, subject, realism, etc. Choose consciously and not on your own entry.
And the new subject week 36 “Steam locomotive” has already started. The winner of this week’s “Tales of the open sea” challenge may select a subject for week 37.

@Guihom congratulations on your action scene “Tales in the open sea”. The composition is good. The action takes place in the middle of the view and the story is easily recognizable. The dark sky fits the mood and the stormy sea. The white sails give a nice contrast. All things fall into place.
- Roelof_van_der_Sar - I love your cartoonic style. Nothing wrong with it. Maybe a little more story element on the small island. Like the skull, it could use more attention. More props to tell a story, because the overall scene is beautiful.
- Cows - Spooky environment. The scene could use more underwater atmospheric elements. It’s difficult to see (read) the futuristic submarine. Reusing objects is a good thing, but viewers must also understand what they are looking at. A real submarine could improve that.
- Gordon - Great idea! But the colors could be more sparkling. The image is now somewhat defused. I miss sparkling highlights on the diamonds and coins. The light beam could be stronger. More light to bring the chest and content more to the center of attention.
- Willrun - If you place a light behind the object of attention. It’s difficult to make the object of attention clearly visible. This could be improved by adding an item in front of the mermaid, which provides a light source. To fit the story I would think about a seashell containing a Perl which emits light.
- TheDespicableDM - All undersea aspects are there. Animal life, explorers, sun rays, and a story. The composition isn’t bad, but I think the shark could be in a different spot. It blends too much into the other elements. Also, the vertical lines don’t fit what a viewer expects to see in such a scene. Like the buildings, at first glance, I thought these were jellyfish. Which would fit more in the overall scene.
