Airplane W Simple Background.

Munch munch munch -

We finally rollin, let the catch-up begin

May: Carcinization

1: True Crab: Lollipop Crab (Ixa cylindrus)

2: False Crab: Symmetrical Hermit Crab (Pylocheles mortensenii)

3: Not Crab: Lake Baikal Amphipod (Acanthogammarus victorii)

4: Three very-not-crabs (Dendrogaster antarctica, Armilifer armillatus, Lernanthropus chrysophrys)

(Rejected Brine Shrimp drawing below the read-more)

Prompt 3 had originally been the brine shrimp, however after a lot of frustration and struggle with the painting, I finally just tossed it at the last minute and replaced it with an entirely new animal prompt.

It was probably for the better, as in my sleep deprivation I laid a very poor foundation for painting + made the inexplicable decision to go with the pink-yellow look to represent the animal instead of the more grounded translucency? It's not bad, but rubs wrong against what I want to do with these.

Behold:

I spent another entire day trying to repaint them as that before finally biting the bullet.

(Another WIP)

I've actually already got 12 more animals painted and ready to share but that still leaves 16 more to fully paint before christmas!
