There are currently two polls running!
This is a ribbon series that continues from the last post.
Originally, I had two types of isopods in mind and drew them. One was Powder Blue Isopods (Porcellionides pruinosus), and the other was a black Armadillidium, but I ended up coloring it in blue to match the mood. I searched for other blue isopods and found out that there is a disease called "Invertebrate iridescent virus 31". That virus turns isopods a beautiful blue, but it slowly kills them 😨 My art world is happy, so every animal should be healthy. So once I found out about that virus, I had to change the type of isopod...
The bright blue ribbon goes really well with the isopod 😁
I drew a ribbon isopod in 2018 too : Swimming giant isopod WIP
I thought I should draw some fish too.. I've drawn a lumpsucker before : [ doodle ] lumpsuckers
I really like the expression on this fish's face 😁
I have a few more 🎀 things in mind to draw, so I'll upload wallpaper post later. Thanks!

These pieces are both SO cute, and it's extremely wholesome that you changed the type of isopod to make sure all your critters are healthy!
