Been planning to do this Flash animation for a couple of years, and in fact conceptualized the mermaids series - Jengu, Duyung and Kadal Kanni - with the idea that they can blend into each other (hence the identical poses and similar compositions)
But after I first completed the illustrations, I postponed working on the animated presentation; I kept revisiting the illustrations, tweaking them and making enhancements over a period of time.
Finally decided to put illustrating on a hiatus and devote some time to this Actionscript 3.0 and timeline animation project. I'm pleased that it is finally done. Now I can reboot my brain and go back into illustrator mode. :-)
