Everything changes under water; light, shadow, reflections, colour, perception.. That's why it is so hard to recreate it in a piece of art. The Garden of Midas by ~sergiofx has certainly managed that quite well. Not only does the little kingdom on the turtle's back look as if built from the shell itself, but all the conditions are just right to make you feel like you are indeed in deep waters.

Description
The legend speaks of a sacred garden, home of the Hand of Midas which has the power of turning everything it touches to Gold. But the Gods, cruel as they were, placed the garden on an island that never appears twice in the same location.
I guess now we know why it never appears twice in the same location, right?
Basically I wanted to show that the temple and the garden were lost for a long time, hence the ruins and the abandoned city.
-------------------------------
I've been going through some bad moments these past weeks, so I felt I needed to hide in my universe for a while and do the one thing that ever made me feel good. And here it is.
This took roughly 8 hours to finish, mostly coming up with the ideas and what have you.
Enjoy

Ooooh... was this inspired by the third Aladdin movie? The movie may not have been very impressive, but your artwork sure is!
Very, very cool piece of work.
