Design for Society- Concept Art

Here is a piece of concept art for my idea in the 'Design for Society' brief. It is a game in which global warming has happened and the world's continents have been overrun by the oceans. Jellyfish have taken over pretty much the entire oceans and are now a threat to the remaining human race who survived by taking refuge in large underwater cities. I want to bring to light the recent news about jellyfish overpopulating because of the sea's temperature (due largely to global warming) and our overfishing of the ocean. Jellyfish are already starting to become dangerous due to their stings and the fact that they can destroy factory outlets by clogging up waste pipes. Also I found a jellyfish's anatomy interesting, as they have no brain, no digestive system, no respiratory system and are technically neither invertebrates or vertebrates. They are simply watery bags with a small nerve cluster and stinging tentacles. Presenting them as an antagonist in a game will be quite interesting as they are similar to terrestrial 'aliens'.

A future scientist gazes on as a giant jellyfish passes the city.
