Nautilus by MarcSimonetti

Here's a personal illustration made for a contest based on Jules Verne's universe. So I couldn't resist trying to represent the nautilus, with an underwater point of view...

Nautilus by *MarcSimonetti is absolutely STUNNING! Just one look at the detail and colors put into the surrounding sea life and it draws you right in. Wonderful use of lighting and focus! ( Featured by cosmosue )

One of my favorite Jules Verne books, nice job.

Your take on the nautilus looks superb.... Kind of almost like how it would look like if owned by a modern day desceandent of captain nemo.

Hello! Can I use this image as a background for an Android game, please? I will give credit in the credits section of the app and will post a link here when the game is published (still under development). The game contents are appropriate for all audiences.
Thanks!
Joe (aka mekDroid)
By the way, looks great (and looks great on the game too, as the game action happens underwater!)

Breathtaking. It's incredible how you made the Nautilus look "at home" in the rest of the picture. Another thing, which could be said about pretty much every piece in your gallery, is that at a distance it looks like e genuine photograph.
No qualms about adding this to my favourites.
