stormy sea

Hi Xara users,

I need to design a stormy sea at night for a book cover. As i am mainly a cartoon style artist, i find doing realistic stuff quite difficult. And i think that doing a stormy sea has got to be the most difficult subject i can think of (for me personally).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can go about this kind of illustration. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

You could check out the Sea tutorial here:The Xara Xone
I think it may well be exactly what you are after.

Wow that's a really great image.
But he doesn't say how he did it.

Who is this Paul chap, so i can get a few pointers on how he did that excellent sea with the spray?

Tao, makes me think of the Pacific Rim and one of it's volcanos spewing forth lava just behind the crest of the waves...

Tao, could you post this image larger, and with greater resolution?

I really like your work, but the images are frequently posted too small to really get a good look at them.
