>That does give the element of subtlety. Which you are using well here. It isn't sorcery, but it is more effort than many edits I say that.
I have used that term just to describe that anything I have applied over here isn´t new at all. If I wanted to use Photoshop and get the job done in 5 seconds, at anytime I could do that.

However, as technology is perfect, anybody could do that if they entered into this thread and beat the hell out of us. There are people who like technology and image more than us and I am aware that there are brilliant efforts out on the net that could teach us a lesson or two.

It has had more effort than the other pictures but the magic here is not for baiting purposes.

>Is this from general learning or prior experimentation you knowing this? Either case you really went all out in thoughts.
going all out? It seems that you learn something new each day from me and cannot get tired of what I make. It´s true that here I shitpost much less and give a more serious view on what I want to convey so things aren´t as confusing.

So about the underwater atmosphere, it´s not that hard to transform it into an earthly image. I have learned it in both ways. From my preteens and adolescence years, I had noticed in the 3D videogames from the 90s that the ambient was sometimes greenish and bluish whenever you stepped into a normal water area. However,in covered places (ice,caves, sewers or even some random normal zones), the colors remain the same just toned down a bit and you could mistake them easily if it weren´t for a few elements.
At least, digitally speaking worked in that way and I have tested it several times before with the app. You can actually convert the bodies from a pony (hell,even the show and movie do it) and even mistake the medium they are placed in. Just adjust the lightning, contrast and bit the coloring and there you have it. A pony looking as if it as on earth.

Or even like pic related, add more definition to make her look as if nothing in the middle covered her nor blurs her presence nor the background. Water is dense so if it looks so see through to the viewer, he could mistake it as if he was watching the sky directly.

The most difficult aspect that took me a lot of time was hiding the elements that would reveal that they are down there and imply that the viewer wouldn´t find them out so easily (bubbles, lightning coming from the surface...)
