And now for my next trick...

[-=Drifter=-]

Hahahaha. At first I couldn't figure out what I was looking at, but then I saw the cute little octopus/squid thing. Neat idea and great drawing/anim!

[Intbel]

That suggests all sorts of possibilities .. I may have a play with that one, tee hee!

[Intbel]

So I had a play ...

Raymond, you're a wonder . That's the picture I had in mind when I set out to do this, but I guess I ran out of steam afterwards to do the water and fishes, so I took a shortcut and opted for a semi-wet octopus instead... .
Thumbs up.
Getting back to our magician/escape artist, plus Sally's comment on the aqualung, here's what happens when you put the two together. Perhaps they should've dropped a hook and line instead? (Had to reduce the dimension of the pic since the file size is beginning to climb.)
Now do the mermaids, Raymond....

Mermaid ... okay ...

Well Gman, your animation is a riot, humor comes in the unexpected. Anyway, out of his misery and probably knocked the chains off too, just can't keep a good man down.

Let me rephrase to avoid any sexism, you can't keep a good person down.

Happy Birthday again, Raymond.
An oversight on my part. It's a good mermaid. Looks like the Disney character, judging from the silhouette .
Graphics on demand is hard for me, too. But that's another challenge, I think.
But I was expecting something more radical from you. You have set high standards and now you're stuck on the top , haha! I have an idea, but I don't have time to make it right now. Maybe later?

Heheh! I'm rather enjoying this. I moved your air cylinder to give more room .. plenty of space now for whales, submarines, sunken wrecks and any other marine paraphanalia.

I have already put in there a melted iceberg ... I think that is quite radical.

Any more elements and the gif file size is going into orbit . The one below is already huge for it's dimensions, and I've already taken out the gradient fills, cut out a lot of frames and reduced the pixel size again, but it's still heavy... .
Being kissed is nice, but he's still sinking and tied up in chains.

Kissed by an octopus?????
That was my first reaction until I watched it a few times ..
