The first species pictured is the Hula Skirt Siphonophore, the second is a Southern Man-o-War. This order includes 194 species so far. These animals operate in colonies with each member performing a function (or functions) for the whole, including things like reproduction, digestion, floatation, etc.

Some Kinnikuman themed sketches from my latest sketchbook.

These are the most presentable ones, because nowadays I mostly do messy scribbles.

The Atlantis one is a doodle I've made on cotton using fabric-friendly paints, the guys next to Clioneman in the fourth and sixth pictures are ocs, and I think that Dalmatiman X Cruella de Vil could be a messy but interesting crackship.

Here are some more Kinnikuman drawings that I dug out of a sketchbook from roughly two years ago:
