Some of these gradients may seem unusual colors for water. The trick is to use the right colors for the rest of your background and it will look quite beautiful.
I hope to make many more assets once I find the courage to animate/draw all of my stories and put them online.
Until then, I hope you can use these gradients.
It is best to use them by making a greyscale image and then using Tonal Correction > Gradient set to add the color. Afterwards, please add more lighting and reflections to your liking.
Thank you!
