Scaly-Foot Snail

van-weasel

A little painting study of yet another ocean freak, the scaly foot snail- a mollusk with an iron shell that lives in deep sea thermal vents and whose color is dependent on the minerals around said vents. It's a beautiful and fascinating animal. 


Requested by a patron!

    I was so captivated by this critter when I first saw it. The specializations of deep sea life always impress me.

    This is digital? amazing, I thought it was a traditional painting. Also ocean snails and slugs are really cool, they look so wild

      It is digital! I've got some brushes that really nicely emulate the real media feel, plus textures that help give the impression of paper or canvas.
