Fisherman

A brave fisherman finds himself ensnared in the midst of a tempestuous storm as an cunning octopus attempts to drag his boat down into the dark depths of the ocean's belly. The concept was to capture the unfathomable vastness of the ocean within a singular object, while conveying the vibrant life bursting forth from it, as if no container could contain it. I conducted numerous experiments with animating the fish but ultimately deemed it too computationally intensive for web-based rendering due to the complexity of the scene. Every texture boasts 4K resolution, albeit downscaled for resource efficiency's sake. This underwater realm teems with an array of wondrous water creatures, including six species of fish, jellyfish, sharks, seahorses, whales, and octopuses. Over three large coral formations, numerous shells, four corals, and innumerable kelp stalks thrive amidst this trapped ocean's boundless vitality.
