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.

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.

Me too.....I just keep reminding myself that we can't all be kalliel or indiachick or roque and it's all right to just be a solid writer. :)
