Here's the MYO I got from the event hosted by Enteli via the Nail Polish Piece it's also an experiment in colored inks, although the scanner drowned out some of the gradients... Her name is Babushka and she's a deep sea Ghoti; she's a very pale blue in color, save for the light purple stalks of her antennae and the tips on her gills and tailtip, and the light purple stripe between the light blue back lines and on her nose, and the bright magenta along her spine. She's kinda squishy to the touch, but also flexible given her bones are mostly cartilage, providing her support enough to go a bit higher than most deep sea critters. Her fins are translucent save the purple edge on her limb fins. Her underbelly is also translucent, showing off thin plates of cartilage that keep her insides and most of her skeleton hidden; only three of her ribs are seen through both the thin body skin and the underbelly. Her eyes are large, as are her teeth which she keeps displayed in a perpetual grin since she can't cover them up too well. While her antennae bulbs glow eternally, the spots on her body and the spines in her tail fin pulse with blood pressure changes. Changes in water pressure can also cause some of the lines and blue stripes to glow briefly. Due to this, she attracts flocks of deep sea jellyfish who follow her around while she feeds, picking off their own food from what she doesn’t devour. She grows a strange brown-red algae from her back, and carries a few tubeworms alongside. She's not that much bigger than a normal Ghoti and actually very calm and friendly, but she still has the 'spooky' label given the first thing most people see of her outside her glow are the big eyes and the equally big teeth. While she can surface, it's usually only at night and she stays in shallows for a very short time before having to return to the depths.
