After a long, impossibly hot weekend, I was inspired to put together previously drawn elements into an image with a cooling effect. All the kelp and the garibaldi were created for the Birch outreach van, but I thought a kelp forest scene was worth putting together in itself. I was planning to add more animals. As it turns out I rather like the garibaldi on its own. The luxury of photoshop allows me experiment of course, so I will post other kelp forest compositions as they evolve.
