Water, like fire, is basically impossible for me to animate correctly, so I try to come up with extremely stylized ways to evoke it. Right now I’m designing water-walls for the Parting of the Red Sea. Not sure how it’s gonna work out, but here are a couple tests as I find my way.
These little animated gifs have dithered colors which give them blue and purple flickers absent in the original animation.
How about using this method to create high-quality non-dithered GIFs?

THE TOP ONE IS SO GOOD. PLEASE put a bigger gif up!
