Echoes of the Sunken Forest

Here is another recent Zbrush sculpt. I always enjoy the lighting and general eerie presence of kelp forests and what may lurk just beyond the line of sight... . . I usually think of great white sharks, haha, but for this image, I wanted to develop an idea of these creatures billowing out horrid moans from within the kelp, echoing for miles... .. . and creating a ghostly presence to sailors who trudge through such haunted waters...
:D

I love this guy! Are those 3 pairs of eyes or are the rearward circles ears? I really dig the skeletal structure of his hands and feet and how they tie to the elbow/heal. It would be cool to see his swimming action. I'm a fan! I like how your sculpt look like paintings. Very full.
Thanks SARDEANIE,
Yes, the rear circles are not eyes, but more like octopus siphon (funnels) for exhaling water after sucking it in from the mouth and passing the gills inside.
