Day 2 of #Nudivember is Pseudotritonia quadrangularis. Trying to capture the translucency of this nudibranch was a fun challenge. Exploring lots of unused brushes in my Procreate library for these.... #SciArt #illustration #Nudibranch #SeaSlug #Invertebrates #Procreate

An original digital illustration of a Pseudotritonia quadrangularis nudibranch by Loadofolbobbins. This translucent jelly like sea slug is drawn against a deep rich blue background. It has frilly like edges with opaque white colouring. The white translucency of the rest of it's body gives an eerie ghost like appearance.

Welcome to the first day of #Nudivember!! Usually I choose lesser known species to feature, but in honor of the big Pokemon anniversary this year, our first species is the Pikachu nudibranch! Have fun! www.inaturalist.org/taxa/142790-...

Pikachu Nudibranch (Thecacera pacifica)

Thecacera pacifica is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae. It is sometimes also nicknamed Pikachu nudibranch due to its resemblance to the Pokémon...

T'other day I mentioned drawing for the first time in ages and here be the results. For day 1 of @saimihanma.northsky.social #Nudivember it's Thecacera pacifica aka the Pikachu nudibranch to further cement it's awesomeness! #SciArt #illustration #Nudibranch #SeaSlug #Invertebrates #Procreate

An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of the Thecacera pacifica aka Pikachu nudibranch. A type of sea slug it's a vibrant yellow orange colour. It has a number of rod shaped rhinophores which have an almost fluorescent blue colour on their tip surrounded by a circle of black. There are also three black stripes on one of these. The nudibranch is resting on a abstract looking pebbly underwater surface.

阿寒の森でムラサキアミホコリと出会いました。関西では標高の高いところで見かけたことがありますが阿寒の森では駐車場の脇で見つけました。場所が変わればこんな簡単に会えるのも面白いです。

Don't delete the links in your bio when you add them with the new links feature. I still can't see the buttons in the app on my Android phone or tablet and third party services like Northsky similarly don't show them, so people won't be able to see any of your links.

The new links feature doesn't work in the app? I deleted the links in my bio and added them with the new links feature but they don't show up in the app which makes the whole thing kind of pointless.
