Here is a wimp of an underwater lab I am working on. The initial design came from playing around with alchemy. Originally it was going to be a lab of an amphibian species, who were creating a new power source. But thought it would be more interesting if it was a prototype ship building lab instead.

If anyone wants to shout out suggestions at this stage, please feel free.

Been working on this a bit more. Decided not to make it a underwater shipyard but instead try to make it more mysterious. so going back to my original idea of a new power source being discovered.
Have put a human diver in to give it more of a narrative and scale.

Yo! *I like your progressive morphing and twisting of the lab. *I kinda liked the second version more than the third. Perhaps you stretched and squished it too far in some places.

Also, the diver sticks out awkwardly to me. *The construction of the legs and butt don't feel naturally attached to the upper torso.

my 2 cents

Thanks Nickscottart for your crit. The diver was only a place holder, was going to change him with something else.
May try to remove the many folds in the surface to help make a more unified shapes within the composition.
here is an update of the scene. Spending a hour here and there on it when ever i am free.

I think you were really on track with the #1 draft. In my humble opinion the morphing and twisting disturbs the rhythm of the lines of the lab and the pictures don't lead the eye inward as well. Maybe if the warped effect was worked in more subtly to suggest a caustic underwater or lense effect? Just a thought. Cool idea though I never would have thought to paint an underwater lab. Diggit!

I agree w/ DarkAnimal. I think your forms read much better in the first iteration.
