I’m gonna be honest, I completely forgot about this drawing.

Anyway.

Darkar should have smoke magic because fire + darkness.

Process drawing 🥰🥰

A photo sent to me by Luisa Delgado in Bucharest. A bit of a long way for an Australian entomology group, but I still managed to ID it. 

The Argulidae are parasitic crustaceans of uncertain affiliation. They seem to be pretty ‘primitive’ but the complete lack of a fossil record doesn’t help. 

Fish lice can be a few millimetres in size to over 30mm long, although the females tend to be larger than the males. Almost all are ectoparasites on fish, with a few on invertebrates or on amphibians. The body is generally oval and flattened, covered by the carapace. Their eyes are prominent as in the photo, and the attach themselves to the host with mouthparts and antennae modified to form a hooked, spiny, sucker-bearing proboscis. They can also swim when not attached to a host, which probably explains the need for eyes. They leave their hosts for up to three weeks to mate and lay eggs, then seek a new host and  feed on mucus, sloughed-off scales, or blood. The larvae are also parasitic.

5. If you were a type of tree, what would you be?I’d say I’m an oak because I’m pretty strong on the inside. I also think, if given the chance, lots of people would want to kill me and make me into a table. I also love the colors red and orange

14. What is your current desktop picture?Dis one, although I’ve been considering changing it. Any suggestions?

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional).My eyes, but I’m too lazy to take a picture right now. That and I don’t have a good enough camera to take a photo of one right now.

35. Are you a good….[insert anything you’d like here]?Yes. Yes I am.

45. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?I would change my inability to get anything done while stressed. I think this is the most important thing for me to change right now. *sigh*

55. Can you do any accents other than your own?In the right contexts (mostly in songs), I can pretend I still have a Southern accent. I can also imitate isolated sentences after someone pronounces them for me, but that’s about it.
