step 6 of 10

Added parts to top for cylinder, transformed and warped into shape. As these shapes were added, I made another layer on top for painting on shading, using a clipping path to conform to shape.

step 10 of 10

Added the aquarium to the background with slightly lower opacity, and another layer of it with much lower opacity in the front (erased the portion in front of the craft and painted that area with a low opacity blue). Made a layer in the back of everything with difference clouds, blurred. Cut out one fish for the foreground, adjusted levels. Added bubbles and light beams.
