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.

anything resembling a big daddy = win in my book, but i think i shouldn't critique this by comparing it to bioshock, i'm sure you've already had plenty of that . i really liked the color scheme used in this painting and the lighting is just right in my opinion, excellent composition and details on the actual diving suit. bravo!

Wouldn't have mattered either way with me. I love bioshock's theme which is obvious in the same time period as this. Seems like they referenced you when it comes to work

LAWL @ people still mentioning that this looks like Bioshock.
I must say that I thought the same too, but the name and the background showed that it's definitely not Bioshock.

The use of lights and shades is superb.
I have always thought that the oceanic bottom is from Lovecraft.
