Bubbles up

I just got done creating and editing this gif. I was curious about how accomplish smooth loops with different elements moving in different directions. I combined the bubbles going upward, with the background pattern moving downward at a diagonal. There were also some spots moving from left to right, but I think they became a lot less noticeable when I ditched the color and converted this to black and white. So I'll tie this in with this weeks Illustration Friday topic which is "heavy", by mentioning that the background appears heavier as it falls than does the foreground as it rises. Hope ya dig it! Oh and also, this is a bit of a big file so it could take a few seconds till it runs smoothly at the right speed.
