My second jellyfish.  The first was a beast; thick tentacles, a massive head.  This 'lil fella is all dainty with his delicate tentacles and small body.

The tentacle animation was a laborious experience.  Which I knew it would be, hence making this jellyfish that much smaller - less tentacles to do!  I spent most of my colours on the body so it'd have a better soft and translucent feel.  The tentacles I let the colour contrasts be harder so hopefully the tentacles feel more 'sharp' and 'prickly'.

 That's nice; I like the colors very much, but the animation is a little on the boisterous side.

Nice anim !

The big one bg was much more convincing though. I don't know why but it didn't look as static as this one.

Definitly don't look like an under-water motion, maybe because it's too fast, maybe because the tentacles don't move enough.

I was honneslty much more amazed by the big-massive-crazy animation

edit : actually i think the bg kinda ruins your piece. Why not make it transparent, since it's an animation study ?

Agree, much nicer than the big one!

I'm not too sure about the dark patch at the bottom of the moving shadow. In fact, realism would have the darkest shade just beneath the head.

I prefer this one... Tha big jellyfish has an impressive detail level, but this one has a more smooth animation...

My only qualm are the tentacles: they seem pulled by gravity instead of moving water in order to create movement...

Anyway nice work.. ;)
