drew this little creature last month and forgot that I can actually post things on tumblr

it's a dragonfish! Not entirely anatomically accurate, I fear.

The black dragonfish (Idiacanthus atlanticus) is found in subtropical and temperate oceans and as deep as 6,600 feet (2,000 meters).

Females are up to 16 in (40 cm) long, and males are only 2 in (5 cm). They are bioluminescent and produce a blue-green light from a photophore on the end of their barbel (the string-like thing on their chin) and patches on their sides.
