Blue Ocean

I made this in adobe illustrator. I actually made a painting very similar to this so that's how I got the idea.

I haven't been on newgrounds lately but I plan to catch up on the songs I missed sometime this week.

Pretty basic, but it's nice and serene. You did a nice job of making the clouds and the sunlight reflect off of the water. This is pretty decent for the most part. The words in the painting really should've been left out, though.

Everratic responds:

Thanks, and I agree.

Simple, yet satisfying! I like the different shades of blue in the water. You might've been able to do a little more with those mountains/islands, though. They look a little bland IMO and it's also pretty easy to tell they're essentially inverted images of each other. Nice use of color and frame placement though. ;)

Everratic responds:

For the water, I used a blue gradient with a light blue highlight, then I copied the sky, pasted it above the water, reflected it, and lowered the opacity to about 40%. I agree with you on the mountains. I don't like illustrator's paint tool though so I skipped that step.
Thank you!

This looks really nice :O
It's very pleasant for the eyes. Great color choices :3

Everratic responds:

Thank you! I made it pleasant for the eyes by rotating the clouds so that they point towards the sun, and then I reflected the sun in the ocean to enhance its visual appeal.
