What I still said applies though, as while that may be the physical properties of water on Earth, who's to say another planet couldn't have a similar counter-part, but with a different color? Every matter has a liquid state, so it's not far fetched to say a planet has adapted to another liquid substance.

It's kind of far fetched. I mean the current scientific view (at least the view i've been taught) is that life utilizes water so much because of its specific properties. It's not as easy as "life needs a liquid, who says it has to be water". However there have been interesting ideas about silicon based life forms rather than carbon based. I guess it depends on how accurate you want the science in your game to be. You could go for "hard" science and find other molecules that could potentially be analogous to water and base your colours for oceans etc. around these molecules. Or you could go for softer science and basically do what you like in terms of colour and then use science to fake it... if that makes sense. Recently in my plant biology labs we've been studying pigments such as chlorophyll (the pigment that gives plants their green colour as well as enabling them to photosynthesize). There are a few other pigments present in earth plants that absorb colours other than green in the light spectrum for example Carotenoids which gives some plants red leaves as mentioned by JJ Naas. If you wanna use science as your background i suggest you read up on biological pigments and alternative biochemistry (I found this second article while writing this post - it looks like exactly what you want!).

timanthes or one of those programs had a feature where it'd fix images to fit the restrictions.
I have to concur with HMC and Helm though. You are messing with dark magic indeed.

That AA is immense! nice work.
As for wet sand - it's darker and it reflects light better than dry sand. usually better than water too. basically because it creates a thin, flat surface of water it acts kind of like glass. Also wherever there is wet sand there should be flat ground. The waves look great.

Right leg still looks off to me...am i alone in this? can anyone confirm?

Yeah, I agree with you. The way his right leg is draw makes it look like the right foot should be rotated outwards a little. I think it may be to do with the rendering on the back of the leg?
