What would happen, if like dinosaurs, dragons could have water-based species too?
Taken from the book of beasts like Jormungandr (The World Serpent from Norse Mythology) and the Loch Ness monster, comes the Sea Dragon and it's encounter with an uncertain villager lost at sea.  (I love the God of War games)

For your information, yes I did use a denoiser, the noise you see is added grain to give a more 'true-to-camera' and photorealistic effect emote

Why you used the denoiser since you wanted a grainy effect in the first place. Good render with vigorous waves. Good luck.

Demonisers give me no control, I wanted control over the grain size and intensity. Also thank you smile

Thank you for your feedback : D You are right. Now I understand that you didn't want to ignore any intricate detail.

Totally, I would recommend you experiment with lens distortion and grain too, definitely helps renders look less flat and photorealistic too !

Agreed. You would need good lighting, using high quality assets, imperfection, realistic materials, camera angles, post-processing, and adding people and objects while keeping it simple. My best wishes.
