ArtistHybrid 50% animal 50%: leaf slug (Costasiella kuroshimae) x looseleaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Full width 16:9 biology zentangle illustration filling the entire image width of a hybrid leaf slug (Costasiella kuroshimae) x looseleaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa) creature. The green creature has the body of a sea slug, with hundreds of green, strongly patterned leaf appendages with which the hybrid creature can perform photosynthesis. The background is clear, blue and turquoise tropical sea water filled with tiny plankton in all shapes and patterns. Each leaf appendage has a red tip, giving the creature an overall strongly repetitive pattern. The beautiful hybrid is a biological oddity portrayed in extreme detail. Each colored pencil stroke is painstakingly executed and follows an ultrafine zendoodle and zentangle pattern. At the edge of the full-width illustration, the zendoodle patterns exhibit a style like that of famous contemporary zendoodle artists. The fully melded hybrid creature is illustrated in a style resembling that of contemporary biology illustrators and fills the entire width. Extremely detailed, intricate, naturalistic illustration.
Sea creature or salad?
