ssst. I remember first setting eyes on it and being overwhelmed by it's elegency. Such an original style of line art and shading mixed with an original concept makes this a gem of an already amazing gallery by this deviant. (

What I _appreciate_ about this vector is the balance of light vs dark and the effort and thought which has went behind it. The light, bright and almost illuminated jellyfish and the dark, dulled and shadow like octopus. Even the background is tuned to reflect this theme and it's pulled off very well.
It's almost as if they are flirting with each other rather than dancing... the tenticle stroking the jelly fishes face... in a very playful manner.. you'd imagine them as mortal enemies but here is an intimate moment has been caught.
The only issue I have with this is the cropping. I feel there is maybe a bit too much space above and below and not enough either side of the piece. It doesn't feel balanced... as if you're cropping off the details at the sides. I think a more horizonal rectangle crop may have worked better as it would have focused more on the girls rather than the scene.
It seems that this is a bit more refined that your previous pieces... the colours seem a lot more calm and less out there and a lot more fluid. The shading seems a lot more smooth. I can't begin to express how wonderful this piece is. I feel like you've really pushed yourself in so many ways here and I'm even more excited to see where you take your art next.
