The latest version of the animated sea-waves is coincidentally or consciously similar to Metal Slug's:

Alonso, at least on my system that image isn't popping up unless i dig out the URL from your post, and having done so, the water is definitely not sufficiently similar to warrant a post that is otherwise lacking critique or advice.

Frankie - if you can be bothered to find the image that Alonso tried to link, you'l see one thing they did that your image is moving TOWARD but has not yet achieved - which is water is one constantly distorting surface, rather than a flat surface with a variety of distortions popping out of it here and there.  I'd continue working on eradicating those flat sections while you polish the tiling!

Here's a short video of some real sea waves I shot a couple days ago (at Fedje, Norway): click (1.5 mb).  Not the best quality (i've just got a digital photo camera, not really intended for video..), but I hope it might be somewhat useful anyway.

I wasn't trying to push too hard, but if it looked otherwise than what was mentioned, I wouldn't have said a word. Apparently, I'm the only one who notes rescemblance, after asking a couple of friends, so be that my interpretation. Regardless, I'd try to add frames to the entire animation (particularly because there's a couple of waves that leap just too much). Animating sea is worthy of being an ordeal, I've known, so I hope you reach a result you like. I'd also change the colour-tone of the waves to something more, well, saturated (albeit the suggestion be with mslug's sea in mind).

Should I embellish further, AdamAtomic?
