Compare and contrast. The original tide pool design was passed around amongst aquarium folk, and I got the following feedback: too crowded, too much going on, can you make it look more rocky? So, I dropped the horizon, reduced some of the pink sponge presence, thinned out the black outlines and erased a few sea stars. I think the new version (top) is more calming to look at than the old version, which is jungly.

I visit local San Diego art events and many artists present work showing fish and underwater scenes from...Hawaii, the Caribbean, Red Sea, etc.

You do an amazing job with local fauna: kelp, garibaldi, tide pools and more. Perhaps there is an untapped niche there for you?

Great work!
