second concept image

my second concept image was an underwater forest so i started off by doing some searches on underwater forests and what i got was kelp forests, and when reading the book it says that they stand like iron rods, which is like long thin kelp trees. i got lots of reference images to help with my idea.

whilst looking through the images i noticed a pattern in the colours but colours for me made this a problem as i am colour blind so i had a big set back on this project. i found it really hard to try and find the colours that i needed so i tried to stick to black and white as shades as much as possible. in the book it says the colours that they see but this was of no help to me. so in the end i tried to follow the colours of my research images.
