Week 4 introduced edrioasteroids.
I always describe them as a combination of starfish and barnacles. They would attach to hard ground or brachiopods. The 5 point symmetry is obvious.
I also try to consider how the animal lived. There is fossil evidence for predation. If an arm was damaged, it would grow back, but smaller. My painting has two regenerating arms.
As well as some randomer pieces that still helped me to hone my style
If I remember correct @IamSciArt started up around this time which was massively inspiring!

What was and still is the most important for me when I’m creating artworks is that I’m always learning along the way. “Strawberry chemicals” was a fun one to work on, but took a lot of time to research and define where exactly I’d place and colour each molecule/compound.
