Diver Revisited

I think I made it clear at some point that last semester, I went through an aquatic illustration phase, right? Well, it happened. I just came across another Photoshop piece I did for my digital class last semester. This was the last deep sea diver piece I made.

For this piece, I wanted to play with line and space. I didn't want to go too crazy with the subject matter so I chose a simple 3/4 portrait view of a deep sea diver suit.
When I was pitching my idea to my professor, he recommended I look up the artist Shaun Tan. I pulled up Google, browsed through his work, and I fell in love with his art. His work is so soft, and so strange, and I love his rendition of the diver suit.

I browsed Google some more and found a short film that's based on his book "The Lost Thing". There is something about short animated films that are so amazing and so unique compared to full movie length animations. And I wanted to share this one because it's so damn charming.
