Environment Development II

To further develop the environment I began to shade the deck as well as add a few minor details such as bolts in the timbers and rivets in the metal. I also added a sea and sky to the canvas. The sky is made fairly simply using a custom created cloud brush and using varying opacities and shades of grey to build up a believable cloud layer. The sea is made up entirely of filters and uses the perspective transformation tool to give its 3D depth.
