@kimlockhartga Yes! There are so many small delights. I’ll share the #mantaRay. Also, try an online search for nudibranchs #nudibranch — they’re fantastically colorful, smol sea worms that just exist beautifully in the ocean.

Valentines themed flash drop! I had a lot of fun putting these together. Grab you, your loved one, or a friendling, a fun little tattoo to celebrate love with. Swipe for pricing and skin swatches!
The cuttlefish and nudibranch originally had captions but I like them without :>
Tiny babies!! Some small fellas for a flash sheet! These are all meant to be small and cheap at $30 each, so if you want a lil buddy, book in with me! Swipe for skin samples~

This is Coryphella verrucosa (formerly Flabellina verrucosa) chowing on a pink hydroid. Notice that the head of the anemone is covered in tiny little shrimp-like amphipods. I don't think they're on the menu and I suspect they'll flee before it becomes an issue.
Some more work in progress sketches, this time for some valentine's themed flash :>
@mads The animal that most blew my mind when I found out about it was the sea swallow.
I'm not sure how I'd not heard about these before.
Just look at it!
They float upside-down under the surface of the open ocean, scooting about looking for food. They eat things like Portuguese man o' war and steal the stinging nematocysts to use for their own defense.
And, they're just crazy-levels of elegant.
