Skittish about socmed but hoping that this time will be the leap home. Elder millennial, cranky but trying to be positive.

I can't get over those cartoon eyes.

Those delicate, translucent 'leaves' (cerata, as I've learned). Those supernatural, otherworldly vibes. That Pixar-cum-Ghibli creature appearance...

And eyes drawn by Gary Larson.

I can't.
This is the "SEA SHEEP" (Costasiella kuroshimae) & it took the old axiom: "you are what you eat" VERY literally.

It eats algae & rather than just digest them, it harvests the chloroplasts & becomes PHOTOSYNTHETIC. Solar slug!

Also, some of its cousins can rip their own heads off.

This is a very serious opportunity for the farm sanctuary I work for. We take care of the most vulnerable animals that have no other place in this world. Please consider a donation to meet this enormous matching miracle!

My post-apocalyptic companions are worried that I was bitten by the rabid podcaster before we put him down but they're just being paranoid. This will make great content for the bonus episoohhh no

Hey there! I'm Milo, I'm a terribly mixed bag of an artist but I really want to lean more into the dark fantasy side of work I do sometimes.

FYI, this isn't a photo, it's a digital painting.
Handmaiden poster, just for fun because I had the idea and wanted to claim it before anyone else did

If you're all just there for yelling
And on violence he keeps dwelling

A couple more shots at a different angle, without the bonus fungi but I think a better composition of the likely Scarlet Waxcap.
