Art for kalliel's That Were

So much so, I was left l with a burning urge to illustrate one particular scene... so here it is. NB it is kind of spoilery, but not, because you can't tell what happens next, or how he got there, or even what is really happening...so...

Google image search was my friend. It gave me a photo of a kelp forest which I then altered to fit and used as my background. I've overlaid it with a texture called bubbly-green by tigers stock on deviantart. I can't find the original photographer for the kelp, but the photo is being used on several websites (the largest resolution is from (weirdly) a site about bancruptcy. No refs used for Dean, no specific refs for the seals, I just had a look at various seal pics.
All drawn and coloured in PS.
