Description
A return to my Jellyfish characters (although this character isn't actually a true jellyfish).Based on this actual specimen:
[link]
I just couldn't help but think that it's array of tentacles resembled a gown of sorts, so I tried to make this jelly-mer seem elegant and graceful.
AND NOW FOR THE BACKSTORY:
This species of jelly-mer live deep in the ocean amongst the darkness of the shadowy waters.
They have a sort of aristocracy which is guided by their messengers; bio-luminescent fish. Using their quiet movements as instructions, they command their glowing staff to send blinking, Morse Code-like messages throughout the deep and through their dusk-shrouded estates.
They're composed of multiple smaller organisms, each identical in genetic make-up. They communicate with each other to form the mer's consciousness which can drift through their bodies as easily as they drift through the current.

Wow that's really neat, and incredibly faithful to the image in the link! Did you draw her with a muted palate or did you use a water-colour tool?

I just used a muted color palate; no tools or filters here.
