This was the result of my costume/environment/artifact design project. The diving suit was the costume, the environment is a coral reef and the treasure chest was the artifact. It was supposed to look like a paradise where this treasure chest resided, and with a rainbow in the water I just made a logical conclusion to make the leprechaun the guard of the chest. The octopus just comes and throws a wrench in everything though. It's done more child-friendly and whimsically than some of my other works and was just quick and fun.
