The Story
This is Scott in The Gek's flooded World. I made Pigger be in the reflection and placed The Gek in the background. This was gonna be a tiny little sketch but I ended up fleshing it out a lot more than expected! I also have been really liking playing around with blur effects recently in my stuff. This was also heavily inspired by the ending animation to Seraph of the End.

And it all started with this little doodle.
And then I cleaned up the lines.
I actually used the "Always use Pressure for Opacity" option for coloring. I just used varying pressures to change the color instead of using tons of different colors. I used one for the highlight and one for the shadows, but the rest was one color. I don't usually do shading this way, so it was interesting to blend in a different style.
I added in the front color for the water, so that the table looked like it was actually underwater.
I added more color to the background and made the water lines a lighter color. I also colored over Pigger so that it would look like a reflection.
I blurred out a bunch of elements to give it more depth. I also made the foreground a bit larger so it would frame the image better.
I added some water markings onto the couch to make it look like it went together better. I also added The Gek to the background in the sky.
And then I decided to move The Gek because he looked out of place and too big in that spot.
