Blender - Rescue Relationship

Created this rescue scene with Blender for a weekly competition in a Blender Discord community.
Theme: Fearless

The main idea of this was to create something emotional, so I thought of maybe rescue someone from the water, and I had this quick idea popping up, close up picture on two hands.

At first I made 2 simple duplicate hands with different poses, but I felt something was missing, so I increased nail lenght of one hand, and added two rings. that gave me the oppertunity to have somehting extra to focus on in the picture, the floating ring. I also decided to add sharks, more relevant. This clearly shows, a couple, where the man is about to / trying to rescue his wife, fearlessly!

So the idea was there, now to everything else.

I did not use any textures, only free PBR shaders with no special editing. I was focusing alot on the actual effects from the lights and water god beams, the volumetric material and the particle system with the bubbles and slightly smoke.
