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.

I love it when people jump up and yell "It looks like ____!" (Bioshock in this case) If they had seen the artbook (that is free to download..) they would have known the character in question was indeed inspired by old diving suits (the game is located under water, after all)
Anyway, AWESOME JOB! I love the colours so much. Pretty, dusty greens work so well with bright, warm yellows. I love the mix of blurry edges and really detailed parts, they just add to the 'underwater' feel.

Fortunately, I've never heard of of played Bioshock so I knew at once it's a guy in a diving suit. Also, I've read 20,000th League Under the Sea a few times so there was no chance I'd mistake it for anything else.

This was one of those pieces that makes you gasp as you open the page! I'm so unbelievably impressed with this. I'd buy a print if I had any money what-so-ever.

oh ... i thought it was meant to be bioshock, haha. But in turn, i ended up having more respect for the piece on discovering that it isnt!

The atmosphere of the picture is wonderful! I especially like the attention you paid to the light blending into the water.

Nice mood on the illustration - love the lighting, it's amazing!

The fact that the bioshock comparisons come up is just a lack of imagination/memory - rather unfortunate. This is a wonderful piece. Fav'd.

Sadly, our new generations have a very small cultural bagage... I bet most of them doesn't even know what a "league" is

I know this is truly a stupid comment, but I'm left with the bare bone basic of vocabulary when I stare upon this wonderful work of art. FUCKING AWESOME!
And my god, why would anyone connect this to Bioshock? In Bioshock they were gigantic and had drills on one of their hands. o_o
