deep sea december day sixteen: hidden

today i didn't know what to draw, so I just drew a bunch of yellow dots on a piece of paper and called it good.

@montereybayaquarium I bet you experts can find the flatfish this in this drawing. if you can't, no worries, it's really hard.

deep sea december day 15: gossamer

this is my doodle of a comb jelly! I was experimenting with different ways to make the jelly look right, since it's kinda the opposite of a dark outline against a lighter background. i got inspiration from @reconditerosemary's art from day 8 of deep sea december!

@montereybayaquarium the comb jelly's rainbow bioluminescent glow is so mesmerizing, and it's so unique from the typical blacklight mossy glow you usually associate with bioluminescence!

#holy fuck #comb jelly #beautiful #thank you so much #this is awesome #purple is actually the most wizardly and royal color

guys I am so genuinely full of happiness and I feel so flattered from all the responses and love for my deep sea december posts. I didn't think much of it when I started but i'm getting so much joy out of connecting with the community, I might start posting art more regularly. I feel more confident in my art than ever, and i'm so excited to keep participating and seeing other people's art :)))

Art dump of the past few deep sea december prompts. I've been busy, so I haven't gotten around to posting them all yet. All are done with watercolor and watercolor pens. Day 9s prompt is still being worked on, so it's missing from this post. So here's 3-

Day 10- Home

This is a cealocanth fossil!

Day 11- Precious

(no reference for this one, inspired by bubblegum coral)

Day 12- Inky

My partner suggested a barreleye for this one :)

#these are so cool #i love the warm colored coral #and the fucked up little barreleye

Sea star pile-up. ⭐️⁠

These brittle stars are mud-loving animals, often found crawling across the muddy plains of the seafloor. This group of sea stars, known as Ophiuroidea, boasts a diverse number of species—more than 2,000 different species! They feast on a variety of prey, including food particles suspended in the water, organic particles that settle on the seafloor, or small animals like crustaceans, and live in a wide range of water depths—from the shoreline down to 3,000 meters (9,840 feet).⁠ ⁠ The brittle star's common name is inspired by their habit of breaking off arms in defense against predation. They are closely related to starfish, but are distinguished by their rounded central disk and five slender arms.

Day 9: Fathom @montereybayaquarium

Small doodle today! I recently watched a video on deep sea gigantism and apparently there are isopods in the hadal trenches. They make me. Just so. Hsgahehfs. Hello there babies. I would definitely allow my body to be crushed so you could eat me.

I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.
