More oarfish art for oarfish day! (I'm aware I have a problem)

Oarfish are known to practice autotomy, or self-amputation as a defense against predators. It's never this extreme in nature, but that was the inspiration for this piece

TRULY INCREDIBLE! This peace really makes you consider the sacrifice and mindset these fish make and carry. Thank you for sharing.

"Oarfish"

It was important to the client to not cheat the oarfish pose too far from real life, and because oar fish swim like straight lines this was a challenge for me!

Once we landed on the diagonal pose, though, everything started to click and I had a lot of fun adding a sense of movement to the background around him. This is a step outside my norm and I think it's one I should continue a little further this year :)

(Also I should paint some tiny oarfish, why haven't I done this yet!)

Your daily fish #11

Special edition: Noble giants

Oarfish - Regalecus glesne

These creatures are associated with fairytales and folklore because they sometimes end washed up on shores.

They can reach up to 8 meters and they can swim either vertically or horizontally.

They feed primarily on plankton but they can eat small creatures too.

Their bodies are gelatinous to withstand the great pressure of being a super cool fish, I mean, the water pressure.

They look so cool underwater, here is some footage from animal planet.

I bet they have their own folklore about us.

So true!

Showing you my cool ass reference for the shrimp below vvv

Behold !! A shrimp mozaik from the Villa Kérylos, Beaulieu, France

If you ever take a vacation in the south east near Italy, you should visit this place it's incredible <3

If you're of legal drinking age, try making this easy Oarfish Day cocktail! We think a long garnish of blood orange peel would also look just splendid.

For a mocktail version, mix blue tropical fruit punch and tonic water or sprite, or dye your favorite clear beverage light blue with food coloring.

A long, tall drink for a long, tall fish!
