a little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by. I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoyed taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

Watercolour and pencil illustration of a microscopic dragon sitting on a plant root. It's body is transparent and it has two rounded wings covered in beating cilia hairs. It has a long neck and blunt snout with long whiskers. Inside its neck, large jaws are visible and it has tiny black eyes.

The dragon has large claws on its feet, like a water bear, and a long segmented tail hangs down and splitting into a fork at the end. From the root, golden diatoms are growing, and sun animalcules creep along it as a group of rotifers swims past.

"It was a feat only the best Reality Twisters could've pulled off. Cores were made for spectacle, feeding off imagination, yet hardly anyone is able to interface with the century-old masterpiece now. Muffin can, though." ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธThe Cumulus Core Personal #art, 202X, ArtRage/Clip Studio. @en.clipstudio.net

The Cumulus Core, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A surreal field with an impressive view of a radiant core surrounded by swirling dark clouds and swirling, radiant rays that arch around the landscape. There's a hovercat in the midground, hovering innocently. The colors are predominantly blue.
