I saw the contest on the Discord server the first time it was posted but my schedule, especially on the upcoming holiday, was a whack! 😆 Christmas parties and preparations are left and right. Also because of this, I missed to claim ZING token on some days. 😩 But this weekend, I found time to sit in front of my laptop in peace to make my entry. 😁

Art Process
I started by mixing the colors for the background. I chose shades of blue and green and then used the blending brush to mix the colors. For the sand, I used a solid pencil and textured brush for the details.
Next, I drew some coral formations in the background. I used different shades of dark green to make dimensions. I clipped another layer on top to brush it with the color yellow. For the moss, I used a downloaded brush called oil brush to create the texture.
I manually drew the school of fish and used the liquify tool to shape them. The bubbles are created using a downloaded brush from the CSP asset store. I just used a soft brush to create the white foams on the blue background.
Final Background
I added seaweeds for more decoration on the ground and on the top of the coral formations. I used a pattern brush for the texture. The white rocks are a nice contrast to the green ground. Here, I already put the shadow of the creature using the overlay mode.
Final Background with the creature
Here is my final entry for the contest with the creature in the center. In addition, I placed a backlight to make the creature pop from the background.
