Moon Jellyfish
Aurelia aurita (moon jelly, moon jellyfish, common jellyfish, saucer jelly) is one of a suite of more than ten morphologically nearly identical jellyfish species in the genus Aurelia.
It feeds by collecting medusae, plankton and mollusks with its mucusy bell nematocyst-laden tentacles and bringing the prey into its body for digestion, but is capable of only limited motion; like other jellies it primarily drifts with the current even when it is swimming.

Not a big fan of the jelly fish but you did a good job on them nonetheless. If you isolate the girl she has a really cool pulp novel feel to her.


Great work angel.

awesome work and idea nidhi. But I think if you added more shading to the woman, it would add more depth to it.

nidhi-rathish In reply to Jsohpaul [2009-05-16 14:50:43 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!! Well I actually had to refrain from doing that since I wanted to keep it light and airy and not overpower it with contrast shading - kinda like jellyfish
But I forgot to do the arm so I'll have to update that
Thanks a lot!

Great job with the jelly fish Nidhi I know how tough they are to paint

You did well on the transparencies!

My only suggestion would be to add some shade in the arm that is lifted, since it might get a bit confused with the hair (at least in my monitor...).

Your birthday's in July? Sweet, mine too! C:

This is really cool ... jellyfish are so weird. I LOVE how the cloth around her looks so jelly-like ... really nice. And the work on her stomach is gorgeous. C:

I know! they are so beautiful and weird..but they sting real bad lol!
Thank you so much dear! Glad you liked it- I wanted the shading to look light and airy so didn't overpower it with contrasting shadows -hopefully got it right..!
