Crawling out of the water in hordes, these jellies are much larger and stiffer then their aquatic counterparts - and they seem to have an affinity to probing things.
painter 40?

oohw forgot to mention the yellyfish is referenced

**Senira** · August 5th, 2005, 02:41 PM

This design is based on an old RPG character of mine. Yes, I had an RPG character who was a land walking jellyfish. Strange, I know.

This image was captured during the first Karion IV moon landing at Borgir Null. It is an Emperor Land Jelly checking on one of its "medusa" polyps.

1hr in PS. No refs.
I really like Mach's today, and Helqvist's.

**Grimlohk** · August 5th, 2005, 03:48 PM

Haru, yours in beautiful too, love the rider you added with the scarf and all, very anime'ish

Unable to survive independantly on land, jellyfish evolved into parasitic organisms caple of almost complete mind control. They could often be seen attached to the native wildlife of the big cities. The era of man was no more.

**Haru** · August 5th, 2005, 07:24 PM

grim: haha neat concept man !

**damicide** · August 5th, 2005, 10:30 PM

brutal. speed painting a jellyfish is nasty. no form, anatomy, or expression for me to latch onto. oh, well. painter and photoshop 40 min. ... wow, did i just admit to takeing that long. urgh.

**NKunleashed** · August 6th, 2005, 12:00 AM

Grim- nice concept!
Damicide- Doesn't look bad at all for 40 mins. Hell, mine took an hour and didn't turn out that interesting.

**Dr. Tyrell** · August 6th, 2005, 12:03 AM

I always mess up the proportions. I guess I should start with the figure being the focus, and not the environment. Anway I don't know if you can see the details. The core of the jelly is a generator, charging it's outer shell so nothing can touch it. Random outbreaks of lightning shoot everywhere, hitting a poor little bird

30 minutes, PainterIX.

**Sunny** · August 6th, 2005, 01:09 AM

ya this took me a while to get around to do today. its soo hot here in BC canada right now.

**Johann de Venecia** · August 6th, 2005, 02:01 AM

Got carried away with this one...

I like shaky's idea...somehow it seems to have that natural jellyfish characteristic. Would've been better if you spent a few more minutes on it though. Sunny, eeep ugly. Mach and Damicide, sweet rendering...I see a chocobo! Cool stuff from everyone.

Goodnight, have a great w/e...

**William b. Hand** · August 6th, 2005, 03:41 AM

A few variations...

[1.5hr.]

And a couple rifs on #2:

[5min.]

**Grimlohk** · August 6th, 2005, 04:07 AM

william: (will? billiam?) I like those, did you start them off with abstract transparent strokes and then work them into full on creatures? Id be interested to know your technique on em, cuz it looks like you had fun with it.

sunny: love the beard, I think he would look good with a cigar and a pint as well. nah, that'd be overboard

its good just the way it is.

**Eshara** · August 7th, 2005, 07:47 PM

Here is mine. In case you can't tell, its basically an upside down jellyfish. It likes to grab anything in the air. Then it eats it.

**Fal$eProfit** · August 7th, 2005, 11:59 PM

Sonny that is totally killer
Haru I am loving the texture fill background sweet idea
Ads Great idea. I dig your tootbrush guy.
Damicide. 40 minutes isn't so bad the texture and lighting is really good
William B Hand You got that irodecent thing down, Nice
Grimloch Cool idea looks like the lost Pink Floyd album cover
Lukavi Really good rendering. It seems as though some highlights on the tenticals might make it pop better.
Hellqvist I like the textures that you got going on in there
