For a second I thought the first ribbonfish was a low poly model haha
Dazzling deep-sea ribbonfish🎀
These sightings are all of fish in the genus Trachipterus—members of the ribbonfish group, aptly named for their thin, ribbon-like bodies. As these fish mature, they change from dark red to shiny silver, and their frilled caudal and pelvic fins are greatly reduced. ⁠

👉👈 if you like what I make and want to support me for future projects, please consider sharing my game to people who might be interested.

I'm making this game on my own, I don't have a huge network or big company backing me.

Just sharing it helps me a lot. ❤️

Help me draw a Hecatoncheries! 🧡🤍

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

A Hecatoncheries is a big Greek monster with fifty heads and one hundred arms. And I’ve never seen anyone actually draw every head and arm (including myself), so let’s change that!
