Stjepan Erdelijc

Wild West 

Erdelijc does aquascapes, 

This piece shows a desert place submerged in water and how the wild west would look like in water and adding some fish also giving the image some blur to give that underwater feeling.
Erdelijc uses Photoshop to give this piece all the effects but not much information is on how he does his work, Erdelijc tries to make scenes on land like the wild west and submerge them to see what they would look like underwater and adding aquatic effects to the, Erdeljic focuses on the rocky cliff and making all the plant life vibrant and making somewhere with no life in it then giving life and making parts like a cactus stand out and look colourful.
The texturing plays a big part in this piece because of the effects it gives on the plant life and rocks on the other hand colour is also a major player because it switches two things around.
What i like about his work is that he takes a different look at places moreover making a dull place look nice and full of life, my final project is a underwater landscape in a fantasy world and this relates because he takes a place on land and submerges it in water.

This is an artist interpretation experiment in my living room in the same style as Stjepan Erdelijc but it didn't go quite right because the reflection on the water didn't work because of the direction  of the sun, i covered the entire scene in a light shade of blue and added a darker shade of blue near the bottom.
