senoritafishWell, with so many posts with Valentine's Day hate earlier this week, I was hesitant to post on the actual day, and I didn't finish it til late that night anyway. I didn't get the idea until lunchtime. Some weirdness...
Flabellinopsis iodinea, or Spanish shawl nudibranchs. These are local guys that live in the kelp forests and reefs off southern California. I cheated on the cerata, though (the orange gills on their backs); I cut and pasted them from a photo because it was getting pretty late. And since I drew them from photos, I now realize the lighting direction on the upper nudie is wrong for the shading I drew on the heart. Ah well. To paraphase the great doctor, I'm a biologist, not an artist.
