Inner Spaceby ~NocturnalSea

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

Life in a drop of pond water. This was inspired by the pond life exhibit at the Ruthven Exhibit Museum at the University of Michigan, where I used to work. This was my second favorite diorama next to the Life Through the Ages room. Gives me warm fuzzies just thinking about it.

Here's a numbered description of the featured organisms: [link]

This is so freakin cool. Water bears, man! There's so much beautiful life too small to see, but you can draw them and show us all the same.

Keep up all the awesome work

thanks. Glad you like it. I'm endlessly fascinated by the huge variety of microscopic creatures that lie right under our feet.

Awesome! I first thought it was one of your xenobiological paintings. There´s no need to say that "microscopic nature" looks quite xenobiological

Nice. I love these microbial bestiaries.

I surprised you've never done any pictures featuring diatoms or radiolarians.

I was going to put some in this piece, but I ran out of room. I'm thinking I'll do another microscopic piece sometime and include them; there are so many neat protists that I could do several dozen of these.
