Jellyfishing :-)

I had a spate of making vector jellyfish. All vector, nothing bitmappy here. Xara Designer X V8.

More jellyfishing here: https://energyart.uk/jellyfishing.htm

Have a happy season all :-)

Silvia, I can see the vector shapes but will you not be getting bitmaps when to apply any graduated transparency?

I have no idea how this technically works, but I consider a transparency in Xara not really as a bitmap, (not "set") unless I make it into a bitmap. And I haven't done that with the jellyfish, they're all still ... pure Xara. If you know what I mean.

I should apologise in not complimenting your work first off but I got dragged into my details personna as I always like to understand a thing's construction so I better appreciate its beauty.

Re: Jellyfishing :-)

Very nicely done. The subject matter is well suited to using Xara's transparency effects.

Re: Jellyfishing :-)

I'm a fan of pure shapes/gradients/transparencies without using bitmaps. I think it allows for creativity in styling the subject matter. You've done very well here, and I even enjoy the 'glowing' aspects you've accomplished using what I assume are transparent shapes. I do similar things and it's always fun to play with how the transparent tool works in terms of curves. You can accomplish very cool lighting effects with very little effort if you plan it out before hand. Great stuff!
