Agreed, it gives it a lot of motion, like he’s launching up form the depths

The tiny bubbles in the resin actually _added_ to this. It looks like a freeze-frame shot out of a movie.

From a biology perspective this is fantastic! The fins and tail look like a stiff fined fish which are in fact ancient they’re are only a few that we know of! This gives the impression that this monster has been here since fish excited and kept getting bigger while hiding

I love it when there's bubbles in water themed resin. It adds so much to the whole project and it'd be cool if someone could find a way to make purposeful bubbles in a certain shape. Like streaming away from an object in the "water"

I love this ! The bubbles actually add something to it, it feels more alive and as if they were created by the sudden movement of the creature . Really really well done !

Those bubbles hit hard. I don't think it would have worked if you had completely clear resin. That light work is amazing. Great job on the whole project
