I snuck this in between some papers I should be writing right now... that are due Tuesday. Hey, it's still two days away, right? :B *is killed*

Meet Clione limacina, also known as a sea angel.

This is a little sea slug found in the cold waters of the northern hemisphere. It's pretty small - about 25 millimeters long - and only seems to feed on another sea slug from the Spiratella genus. It uses its "wings" to swim through the water. When it gets close to its prey... it shoots tentacles out of its mouth and relentlessly chases its food down! I'm not making this up! XD (If the video doesn't work, try watching it in high quality.)

I love this gastropod and think it's one of the coolest creatures on this planet (so it has quite a bit of competition!), so I wanted to draw one. ^^ Playing with the transparency was fun! As simple as this is, I'm happy with it. Enjoy! I might draw more sea slugs soon, just because they're awesome.

Here's another video, but this one doesn't involve feeding tentacles of death. Beautiful animal, isn't it?

Sea angels are great. I have such a love for gastropods and mollusks of all kinds... I just recently tattooed 11 of these little guys on my leg! They're well known in Japan but not so much back home in the States. You should tell more people about them! :D
