For #WorldOceansDay:

Planet Ocean by Ray Troll

“This drawing was featured in the 1993 book of the same name that I did with my pal Brad Matsen. I dug out the original pen & ink drawing and asked Grace Freeman to colorize it in Photoshop, and I think she knocked it out of the park. There’s many a critter depicted in the lovely orb of our watery planet, including yours truly, diving after a ratfish in the lower right.” - Ray Troll

Mistigram: if you were in the Pacific Northwest in the '90s, as @nicheinterests was, the incredible #fish-themed art of Alaskan artist @ray.troll was everywhere. The recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection was the perfect excuse for Cthulu to garishly adapt one of Ray's more surreal scenes into the #ANSIart graphics format the home computers of that era would have been using, because unbelievably we have no plans yet to release a fish-themed artpack. (Fish Worship, for the record, is never wrong, and is a protected right under the Constitution.)

fishhhh :D

Love the weirdos

We are SO sleeping on how weird prehistoric fishes are. Like our legged fish ancestors or armored placoderms like Dunkleosteus are weird in their own way but they have nothing on them

Pycnodonts: literally any body shape they want that uncanny valley except some genera that look like normal trevallies

(Rostropycnodus, Stenoprotome, Gladiopycnodus, Maraldichthys by Joshua Knüppe)

Holocephali: cartiliginous fish closely related to chimaeras, which means they are relatives to sharks.

(Traquairius agkistrocephalus, Belantsea, and Squaloraja by Stanton F. Fink, Iniopterygidae by Ray Troll)
