Again with the steampunk thing. A bit of the old "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".

Our explorer investigates the depths of the sea in search of a sunken vessel rumored to hold a fortune in treasure.
Legend has it that the vessel is guarded by an unkown beast.....But who believes in legends anyway, right?


EDIT -

Been getting a lot of feedback in terms of similarities to the video game "Bioshock"

Just to point out that this character is based on the old diving suits worn during the turn of the century.
Thes vintage diving suits were around long before Bioshock.

Take a look -

Obviously Bioshock was inspired by these dive suits.

Such awesome details on the suit -- the texture in the water maybe looks a little contrived, but the ambiance with the colours and lighting is totally spot-on. :+fav: :)

Just call on me and I will testify.

Reminds me of the "Big Daddy" from the Bioshock game :)

Nice work!
