Description
Again with the steampunk thing. A bit of the old "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".Our explorer investigates the depths of the sea in search of a sunken vessel rumored to hold a fortune in treasure.
Legend has it that the vessel is guarded by an unkown beast.....But who believes in legends anyway, right?
EDIT -
Been getting a lot of feedback in terms of similarities to the video game "Bioshock"
Just to point out that this character is based on the old diving suits worn during the turn of the century.
Thes vintage diving suits were around long before Bioshock.
Take a look -

Obviously Bioshock was inspired by these dive suits.

It makes me sad that people think of Bioshock first and then the early dive suit second.

The artistic styling you've used in this piece is incredible, it feels powerful enough to make me want to reach out and caution the fellow diver to the lurking danger of the sea. The clear but not so clear focus of the image really gives me the impression of being underwater as well as the use of color and shadows in this.
It's a real shame that people believed this to be a Bioshock play, While a intriguing game it is nothing more then such. And your vivid portrayal of a Jules Verne'sque story is much more then a simple game. It is a Story all its own, a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words is it not? (Also some people don't have any class)

You knocked it out of the park with this one. It's hard to capture that deep underwater feel, and you did so here flawlessly.
