Description The title is a play on the ballet step, "pas de chat," which means "step of the cat." Here is a step of the jellyfish.  

I don't know why I wanted to draw a dancer with a jellyfish, but as soon as I envisioned it, NOTHING FELT MORE RIGHT.

Thanks! Jellies are hard... Yeah, I'm not sure what made me think of it - probably her hair, how it looks like she's underwater. I want to do a series of them!

I can see a series of them, each successive one with slightly more colour... maybe slowly changing from aqua to blue hues...

Neat idea you've got. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

I like that alternate title xD  The human looks so freaking awesome and that jellyfish looks cuddlish (though they rhyme it's best advised not to do so o/) I am still not done with my May prompt but but I will make sure I finish it in time ;w;  CBLOOP!

Haha, I wouldn't cuddle a sea nettle, they sting!

No worries, I'm still working on my dictionary word prompt

You did a wonderful job with the Jellyfish, it looks great. And of course the figure looks awesome

Just, 2 small things. It seems like her lower jaw extends a bit too far; and I think there should be a bit of an arch in her back between her ribs and hips. ...ok, 3 small things: It seems like her chest/torso is a bit too short when compared to her head. 
(I could be completely wrong) 
Oh, and maybe a bit more muscle at her shoulder/shoulderblade.

It bothers me that Cnidarians is pronounced 'nidarians' but it has a silent C

I like the title "bloop bloop bloop"
