Artist's Comments

If giant jellyfish have souls, here's how their prophecy of rapture might read:
At the sound of the thunder, the dead shall rise first from the seabed. Then we who are alive shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet our Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with our Lord. And the humans shall be our witnesses.

These creatures have emotions too like humans. The woman, being very close to them, tried to guide them as they struggled out of the water for the first time with mixed feelings of ecstasy, fear and bewilderment.

Dedicated to my dear friends, :iconmoroka323: and :iconirishwsdm:

They created a wonderful Creation of the powerful and furious natures. Everything is in enraged fury. The water is in the sky and on the earth. The animals out of the depth of the sea illuminate at the dark sky. And a woman of the sea directs the storm of the waves.

Thanks so much for bringing in the much needed emotional content into this work! You described them very well, indeed! Now I think I better update my description above with the missing emo elements! :thanks:
