The Spiral Shelled Abyssal is a pelagic drake that is found across the globe. Despite the extreme dimorphism the Spiral Shelled Abyssal is actually a distant relative to the Sky Abyssal. 

This drake gets it’s name from it’s bizarre shell structure. Despite its impressive shape and size the shell is quite light and even aids in the drake’s buoyancy. Males and females are nearly identical however male’s shells will grow and spiral through it’s life. Much like the rings of a tree the number of spirals can help indicate age. 

While not particularly fast the Spiral Shelled abyssal can travel vast distances, feeding primarily on plankton and other small invertebrates. However they are not picky eaters and will feed on just about anything they can catch. 

Much like their airborne cousins the Spiral Shelled Abyssal are solitary and will only pair off during the mating season. Females will deposit their eggs in small batches, typically on rocks or floating plant life. Young Spiraled Shelled Abyssals are shell-less and will develop their signature shells as they age.

Cerberus Unleashed: Exploring the Mythical Three-Headed Guardian Through Vector Art

In the realm of mythological creatures, few are as iconic and fearsome as Cerberus, the legendary three-headed dog guarding the gates of the Greek underworld. This mythical beast, with its serpent-like tail and ferocious demeanor, has captivated artists and storytellers for centuries. Today, we delve into the world of vector artwork to explore the timeless appeal of Cerberus and its representation in modern design.

The Legend of Cerberus

Cerberus, also known as the Hound of Hades, is a creature from ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, Cerberus was tasked with guarding the entrance to the underworld, ensuring that the dead could not escape and the living could not enter. With its three heads, sharp teeth, and serpent tail, Cerberus struck fear into the hearts of mortals and served as a formidable obstacle for heroes seeking to journey into the realm of the dead.

Vector Art: Bringing Cerberus to Life

Vector art has become a popular medium for artists seeking to reimagine classic creatures like Cerberus. Unlike traditional raster images, which are made up of pixels, vector graphics are created using mathematical equations, allowing for infinite scalability without loss of quality. This makes vector art perfect for capturing the intricate details of mythical creatures like Cerberus.

In vector artwork, Cerberus is often depicted in a dynamic and menacing pose, with its heads raised in a snarling display of power. The serpent tail, often coiled around its body, adds an extra layer of complexity to the design, while sharp claws and glowing eyes emphasize Cerberus's otherworldly nature.

Exploring Themes Through Vector Art

Beyond its visual appeal, vector artwork allows artists to explore themes and concepts related to Cerberus in new and creative ways. For example, Cerberus's role as a guardian of the underworld can symbolize themes of protection, security, and boundaries. Alternatively, its monstrous appearance may evoke ideas of fear, danger, and the unknown.

Through color, composition, and style, vector artists can convey these themes and evoke emotional responses from viewers. Whether it's through bold, contrasting colors or subtle, atmospheric shading, vector art allows for endless possibilities in capturing the essence of Cerberus and its mythological significance.

The Enduring Legacy of Cerberus

In conclusion, Cerberus remains a captivating figure in mythology, inspiring artists and storytellers across cultures and generations. Through the medium of vector artwork, we can continue to explore the timeless appeal of this mythical three-headed guardian, unlocking new interpretations and insights into its enduring legacy. From its fearsome appearance to its symbolic significance, Cerberus continues to hold a prominent place in the world of art and imagination.

The Large Maw Mermaid, or the more commonly known “Treasure Hoarder”, is a medium sized mermaid found across tropical seas. This mermaid is well documented for gobbling up sunken treasures due its propensity for eating anything it can fit in it’s mouth. Caught specimens are commonly found with bellies full of gems, gold, and other sunken paraphernalia. Its why they are also known by another name, “Neptune’s Purse”.

Dear collectors ~ Put this on your mantel this holiday season. It’s among the pieces I have specially priced thru Dec 24th. Scroll to my previous post to see the entire selection of available work. Continue reading below to learn about this particular piece.

"I have always been captivated by Art Nouveau and Art Deco, which is where I drew my inspiration for the style of this griffin. The idea for the arched feather antennae came from stylized Deco-era renditions of gazelle with their exaggerated flowing horns, a popular motif at that time. Genuine pearl eyes and 24 karat gold are among the details that add to the elegance of this piece "

TITLE: Absinthe DIMENSIONS: 21” x 12” x 12” MATERIALS: Animal skins over a sculpted clay armature with genuine pearl eyes. 24K gold leafed hoop (repurposed vintage ormolu vanity mirror frame) affixed to a custom-made riser. Hand-blown cloche from Poland atop a Victorian-style footed wooden base

"The iridescent green undertones of the black feathers inspired the title – 'Absinthe'. The purported hallucinogenic effect of its green liquor namesake is said to conjure figments and fantasies, which earned the anise-flavored spirit the nickname “The Green Fairy”. I have always thought the way early glass windows distort objects looks like a wavy dream sequence, so I chose a vintage cloche for this piece because the circumferential rings rippling downward from its crown imparted an ethereal feel to the creature within it "

Story in caption. Week 1 - Bake Kujira (#creatuanuary day 6)

Welcome, dear reader! I am so overjoyed - my editor endorsed a second volume of my travel journal. So we will travel once more the realm of Almaos. If you are new to this journey - me, I am Sally A. Wittiepen, gnomish writer extraordinaire, with a passion for traveling. To celebrate the new volume, I started with a very special treat. I am staying at the top secret research laboratories of Dungeon Corp, leading supplier to the most dungeon masters on Almaos. Although a geas blocks me from reporting on their ongoing research, they neglected to include their abandoned projects. So I can share the story of their Bake Kujira project. These cursed undead whale skeletons travel the sea, seeking revenge for their murder by whalers. The tragic souls who come across them will catch an evil curse. Unknowingly, they take it home, infecting and, in due course, eradicating their entire village. The researchers caught a Bake Kujira and took it to their research facility in order to market the curse to the most evil among their clients! Yet, they were too successful. The entire facility had to be abandoned, as the curse manifested so strongly that one got tainted by just glancing at the buildings. I don’t dare to imagine how Almaos would look, had the project succeeded.
