Water Textures

In an effort to make the water look 2Dish, we've being trying to use textures. We tried doing 'subtle,' and that didn't work, so now we're just going all out and using 'contrasty' textures. These are a few of the ones I did last night.

These were all done in Art Rage 2, which has some really cool texture/brush settings, although a little gimmicky to look at. Some of them were also inspired by textures and line work from films like 'Old Fangs,' and 'The Secret of Kells,' both by Cartoon Saloon.
