The vampire squid was first described in 1903 by Carl Chun. It is found in temperate and tropical oceans, and lives in the oxygen minimum layer (OML). It has few natural predators because few other animals are able to live in the OML.

I couldn't do only one for #jelliesinjuly - Jellies in Space, of course. This technique was such fun, I had to do a second one. This is C. sericeum being coy, in outer space!
What do you think of this nebula-esqe technique?

I took my latest #jelliesinjuly - Bloom painting into Photoshop to see what I could do by way of a pattern. I'm quite pleased with these results! Patterns in order: offset, crossweave, random, plain. Which is your favourite?

I challenged myself to paint Periphllya with watercolour instead of acrylic. Not entirely keen on the outcome but it was a fun exercise. I changed the tentacles up from the original drawing for kicks. ☺️ #jelliesinjuly #sciart #artchallenge
