That looks fantastic!
I'm sure the job was turned down because of a clash of styles, not for lack of talent.
only thing I have trouble with is the object in the foreground [I can see how it's needed, I just can't tell if it's an extreme closeup of the big fish's tail or another animal]
But great work, none-the-less

Yeah, that darn foreground object! It give me and everyone else trouble. It's a sub with an octopus-dude inside. I was trying to make it look shiny and transparent, but it just ended up all confusing. I think I might wipe it out or redo it in a later version when I get a portfolio ready.
I'm glad you like it, thanks for the comment!

i always liked monsters eating... things! and i like the ocean too, especialy when it gets that green tone. the light in that creature (not the scary monster, the other) coming from the surface

*gapes* 
This is one of your strongest pieces I've seen... and since you've made it your featured Dev, you know it's awesome too. 
Well done!

Thank you SO much! I felt kinda bad that it not only didn't get me the position, but wasn't getting much attention at all. I'm happythat you like it, and I totally agree about the sub. I changed its colors about 5 or 6 times, trying to find something that didn't clash, but that stoof it apart. I eventually tried to make it metallic (and thus have it look blue under the water), but it's still very much one of those things that's bugging me. When I have the time, I will tweak it some more.

Very nice! I like the dragons mouth, looks cool. What is that object in the forground?

a stingray-like submarine thing.

Oh ok. Looks cool. A blur effect on it would make it stand more from subject, make it all 3-D-ish.

I assume you mean on the ship? I might toy with it later, and I'll keep that in mind.
