Plesiosaur in a Shallow Sea

Dipping my toe into some paleoart with this scene of a Jurassic plesiosaur, based on Cryptoclidus, hunting squid in a shallow inlet. The colorscheme was mostly porpoise-inspired. Would love to make a scientific illustration like this for an article!

The plesiosaur, squid, sand, and water surface were created in Blender (with the squid and plesiosaur textured in Substance Painter). Some stock and textures.com imagery was used in both textures and compositing. The assets are realtime ready, but I comped in a lot of the watery effects.
