Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis), family Vampyroteuthidae, photographed in the deep sea off the Pacific Coast of North America

Vampire Squids are not actually true squids, but are in their own distinct groups of Cephalopods (most closely related to the Octopuses).

These octopods live at depths of 600 to 900 m (2,000 to 3,000 ft) in oceans around the world.

A second and very different piece from the Brooklyn Museum for #CephalopodWeek:

Jesse Krimes (b. 1982) Blackwater, 2021 Assorted textiles Brooklyn Museum

“To counter the dehumanizing isolation of incarceration, Jesse Krimes works collaboratively with currently and formerly incarcerated individuals to create artworks out of old clothing and textiles that evoke memories of home. The artist developed his own practice while serving a six-year prison sentence. In this work, Krimes regards the tentacled animal as "a panoptic state of surveillance" and alludes to the eugenic and white supremacist ideas embedded in American zoology. The title, Blackwater, refers to a prison in Florida.”

Here's Captain Barnacles :D

He's playing his accordion 🪗 He definitely has PTSD <3 In my little redesign he's older, like closer to Ranger Marsh's age.

I'm really proud of the background so here it is, along with the reference

I found an AMAZING Accordion cover of some Undertale music, oh my GOSH I love it. Go support the op (link in the video)

Here's the speedpaint:

Ty everyone for the welcomes and hellos! (Though I'm late to respond TuT) Still don't have anything new finished yet, but would like to show this instead:

Made this roughly 3 months ago. The skull is a ceramic from Oriental Trading. Pardon the random stuff in the background. Moving houses is a mess.

Marvelous Mermay: Doc Oc

I scrambled to get this done in time for the 8th. A happy coincidence that the movie's style lends itself to a quick messy sketch--though this still took several hours.

Peso the merguin

Btw: does anyone have any tips for taking pictures of traditional art, I'm working on digital but it's really difficult

[mysticfoxdesigns]

Here is my attempt of mapping out the Octopod. Probably a forever WIP cause the Octoray took me forever-

Will this become a full map? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on my time

(Yes Shellington gets an official bedroom cause I made room for there to be one)

Based entirely on this picture.

And don’t even ask me about the storage in the water part of the launch bay. Tweak made a real life Tardis.

Inkling:he is 73 and is a retired professor of marine biology. Inkling decided to travel once he finished university when he was 22,his travels quickly turned into research on endangered wildlife (water life?fish) and natural marine structures .His travels eventually brought him to china where met a cartographer named min after he got stuck in some bamboo (that’s as much as I know about how they mett season five is not available in my country)the tow began talking and quickly got involved, there was a bit of confusion on the nature of their relationship all internal until min broke the ice never being one to sit around and wait and they became a couple.They traveled all over china together mapping the landscapes and investigating the marine life for tow years.Inkling had stayed in china for fare longer than he had intended because he didn’t want to leave min but he had to go back to england, he proposed to min and asked her to return home with him but she declined as she still had work to do in china,but she still wanted to continue there relationship.Inkling returned home heart broken but had the comfort of letters from min.Inkling became a professor of marine biology when he was 26 he had dreamed and petitioned for a aquatic life research and preservation team to be assembled and to be based somewhere out at sea but was rejected numerous times till eventually he gave up.When he was 40 he met a young man in the navy at a pub who was fascinated with marine animals and there delicate eco systems,the young man by the the name of barnacles was fascinated to hear about inkling past attempts of developing a research and preservation team and greatly encouraged him to pursue it again.When inkling was 42 he became the prod fonder of the Octonauts after his petition finally passed as it had great support from the navy put he maintained his position as a professor at the university.His team started out small consisting of himself ,the young man in the navy and a girl from the USA called tweak who was a friend of barnacle who wanted to lend their inventions and mechanical expertise to his cause.When inkling was 60 he took a back seat handing the role of captain over to barnacles who he trusted most whith the position.When inkling was 63 he ran into a former student of his how seemed to be distressed so inkling bought him a drink his old student confided in him that he had got someone pregnant and that they we’re going to get married but she called of there engagement,inkling offered his prior student shellington some comfort .When inkling was 66 he suggested to barnacles that he should recruit shellington as a Octonaut as inkling was getting older and would need some extra help fulfilling his duties on the octopod.when inkling was 72 he was reunited with min and they were finally married.Inkling enjoys jigsaws and often dose them with peso and shellington (mainly shellington)he is shockingly good at ping pong and candy crush.inkling is has a grandfather-grandson relationship with tunip and is the one that looks after and entertains tunip when he is on the octopod.inkling is in a whellchair.he youes he/him pronouns and is an ally.He had to be educated on transgender people in his 40s when he met tweak as he didn’t know that they existed when he met her and he was very confused.
