For the character design project, I have been tasked to create a diva shark in a 1950's MGM setting, using UPA style of animation.
My first thought was a large-scale underwater rendition of Bobby Darin's 'Beyond the Sea'.

I imagined the interiors of Esmeralda's buildings being just as hectic and multi-levelled as its exterior with bridges and stairs everywhere and the building itself acting almost just like a hollow shell with very little of it actually used for living.
I wanted to somehow represent the criminal culture in this city but couldn't find an effective way without painting characters. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
As was suggested, I changed the overall surface colour of the water to reflect the colour of the sky as well as a gradient to add some more interest.
Of these three, the first is my favourite as it has a and has nice contrast and a theatrical feeling to it similar to my establishing shot. I think I'll take this one further.
