Illumination by Whale Fanatic

Made this listening to Midnight by Coldplay and Infinite Journey by Peter Crowley Fantasy Dream (my favorite YouTube composer).

Whew! My apologies for lack of posting for a while! I've had to scrounge for motivation lately, and school starts on Monday for me, so I'm busy with that, too. In the meantime, hope you enjoy this little piece! :D Also, my birthday's coming up on Sept. 3rd! Oh! And I finally came up with a name for my sona: #Nauyaq! #night #jellyfish #whale #underwater #cetaceannation

"Nauyaq" (naw-yak) is one of many ways of saying "beautiful" in Inuktitut. Also, those glowing things are crystal jellies, the only species of jellyfish whom have naturally occuring bioluminescence. The moon jellyfish, however, only glows like this under special lighting in aquariums.

Yeah, they were going to be brighter, but then I wanted to make the painting slightly darker, and it totally dulled down their colors. xc

That doesn't sound fun. D:

Yes, I figured that out only after posting this. xc Hmm... I'm contemplating whether or or not I should take this down and fix that flaw.

I'll leave this up, then. Plus, if I tried erasing on low opacity, it'd still kinda mess up the 3D since the jellyfish and dark, translucent adjustment share the same layer.

wow, you're a very talented artist! ^^ thank you for the comments. I'm not in an orcestra band, It sounds like fun though! I play the flute, so I don't have much experience with string instuments, but they sound very pretty.
