Second entry to Zeta-Neubourn 's Headburster Contest :D

I was really dead set on doing an ocean themed one, no surprise...had fun doing the colors in this one!

These guys tend to attach themselves to ships and haunt them - they're sometimes seen as a bad omen, hanging around doomed ships before they sink. They're more mischievous than anything though.

Their heads contain a miniature ecosystem that sometimes includes small fish, crustaceans, sea plants, and shellfish of sorts. As a result, their vents release a rather putrid stench that smells like a mix of fish and sulfur.

Contest ends April 10th!
