Art post: new critter

I thought I should be painting some more critters to build my critter repertoire.

This is a small gouache painting of Goniobranchus gleniei, a beautiful leopard-spotted nudibranch. It looks a lot like it's wearing a leopard-skin rug on its back. The painting is about 4" square(ish); the nudibranch is teensy.

The reference photo came from an Instagram account called diveskillz.

[ETA: one more!]

This critter is a little bit murkier, but some of the watery effects were fun. It's Goniobranchus aureapurpureus.
